The carriage drove across the bluestone streets, entered the alleys, and stopped in front of the gate of Li's house.
Li Nian pulled Shen Qianye into his room and took out paper and pen.
Shen Qianye was a little confused by her abrupt attitude.
Ever since he confessed his feelings to her, Nian Nian has been avoiding him, wishing she could draw a clear line between them and never have anything to do with him again. It was really abnormal for her to be so proactive and intimate with him today.
Shen Qianye vaguely guessed that it might be related to the general named Xiao at the city gate.
"Niannian, do you know the general at the city gate?"
Li Nian answered without thinking: "I don't know him." She said this but put her finger to her lips to make a gesture of silence.
Then she picked up a pen and wrote on the paper, "Can you drive the carriage back later and wait for me outside the southeast city wall tonight and take me to find Sisi?"
Li Nian finished writing and handed the pen to Shen Qianye again.
Shen Qianye didn't understand why he couldn't speak?
But he still cooperated and took the brush and wrote, "Why? Is it related to that General Xiao?"
Li Nian wrote, "I have a personal grudge against him. If he recognizes me, he will definitely not let me go!"
After thinking for a moment, Li Nian added four more words, "Please."
After handing the pen to Shen Qianye, Li Nian grabbed the corner of his sleeve and shook it. This trick had worked on Xiao Yunyu before, and she didn't know if it would work on other men.
With his face raised and lips pursed, he looked at Shen Qianye eagerly and shook his sleeves.
This is the only trick she has. The other tricks she used on Xiao Yunyu might seem like sexual harassment if used on Shen Qianye.
Shen Qianye… was stunned for a long time before reacting, and nodded quickly: “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
When Li Nian heard his promise, she bent her sparkling eyes and said softly, “Chen Qianye, thank you.”
She was sincerely grateful. She had always been cold to Shen Qianye before, but he had always been very kind to her.
Li Nian let go of his hand and looked at him with a faint smile: "Then go find Bai Ying quickly!"
Shen Qianye pursed his lips to control his smile, nodded and replied: “Well, I’ll wait for you tonight.”
Li Nian smiled and replied, "Okay."
It was already evening when Li Nian and her friends arrived in Dong'an City. They had some noodles for dinner and then night fell.
Seeing that it was almost dark, Li Nian simply didn't unpack his bag. He carried the bag on his back and prepared to go to the east wing to pick up Jinhe and leave together.
I opened the door with both hands, and a tall figure was blocking the door.
Li Nian was so frightened that she almost screamed, and her first reaction was to step back and close the door!
"Bang!" The door closed.
Li Nian was planning to look for help from the system in his mind.
Then Xiao Yunyu's low, cold voice echoed from inside the room: "If you're not Yun Qiuwu, then why are you running? What are you afraid of?"
Li Nian clutched the bag tightly with her fingers, turned around slowly, and tried to keep her voice calm: "Who said I was going to run away? I'm just going out to look for someone."
"Wow!" Xiao Yunyu lit the candle in the room.
The flickering candlelight made his noble and handsome face dim and unclear, and only his deep peach blossom eyes stared at her, as if he wanted to see through her.
Li Nian pursed her lips and took two steps back unconsciously. "Why did you, sir, barge into my house so late at night? I've made it clear today. You've got the wrong person."
Xiao Yunyu looked at her alert face, listened to her cold and ruthless questioning, and the words she used to distance herself from the matter.
My heart was filled with strong and complex emotions, and I asked unwillingly: "Why? Since you are still alive, why don't you look for me?"
Li Nian was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "Sir, you really have the wrong person."
"You still want to lie to me? Didn't you say you loved me very much?" He uttered a low, choked voice, "Liar..."
But, luckily I lied to him!
It’s enough that my wife is still alive.
Xiao Yunyu turned his back and tried to regulate his breathing, but he couldn't control the tears in his eyes.
With his back to me, he tried hard to control his voice so as not to reveal too much emotion. He asked with anticipation and fear, "So, were all the things you said to me before a lie?"
Li Nian frowned: "Sir, you really got the wrong person!"
Xiao Yunyu turned his back and wiped away his tears before turning to face her and said seriously, word by word, "You said you loved me very much, only me."
Li Nian was really annoyed. How could this person be so sure that she was Yun Qiuwu?
She said coldly, "Sir, didn't you say today that your wife had died a long time ago? Just accept the reality! Your wife is dead, the wife you married with honor is dead!"
"No!" Xiao Yunyu seemed unable to bear it any longer and suddenly took a few steps forward to hug her tightly, saying again and again, "My wife, it's me. You said you loved me. You didn't lie to me, right? You didn't lie to me..."
"I lied to you."
Li Nian didn't understand how Xiao Yunyu was so sure that she was Yun Qiuwu, but she knew that it was meaningless for her to say that she was not Yun Qiuwu.
It would be better for him to give up.
"Xiao Yunyu, I acted the obedient role, and I also acted the love for you. Why do you have to make things so clear? Without further ado, your late wife Yun Qiuwu loved you."
"It's Li Nian who's alive, the cold and heartless Li Nian, the Li Nian who doesn't love you. I beg you, please don't disturb my life now, okay?"
Xiao Yunyu loosened his embrace, held her arms with both hands, bent down, and lowered his head so that his eyes were level with hers: "My wife, I don't believe that you really have never loved me from the beginning to the end!"
Li Nian looked him in the eyes calmly, her voice soft but firm: "Xiao Yunyu, I have never loved you from the beginning to the end. I don't love you. Please don't dwell on the past, okay? With your status, you can have three wives and four concubines, you can choose all kinds of beauties from all over the world. Why are you so obsessed with a fake person?"
Each soft and persuasive word pierced into Xiao Yunyu's eardrum like a knife, cutting a bloody wound in his heart again and again, but the person who spoke had an indifferent look on his face.
"No, that's not it." Xiao Yunyu took two steps back, but suddenly stopped and continued to approach her unwillingly, saying stubbornly, "I don't care if you are Yun Qiuwu or Li Nian, you are my wife! I don't want three wives and four concubines, I only want my wife, I only want you."
Listening to his promises, Li Nian felt no wavering in her heart. What man could refuse such a beautiful thing as having three wives and four concubines? It was just that he was unwilling to accept it because he couldn't get it.
Getting a little annoyed by being pestered, Li Nian couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Yunyu, what are you so obsessed with? She's just a woman. With your status and position, you can have any woman you want. Why do you have to be so obsessed with a woman who doesn't love you?"
"Acting", "Fake", "I'm lying to you", "I don't love you"...
How is this possible? How is this possible?
How could his wife say such cruel words to him? It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this...
Xiao Yunyu looked at her with his red eyes, but his vision began to blur, and the dull pain in his chest made it difficult for him to breathe.
He took a few steps back in panic and fell against the table. The burning candle collapsed and went out with a snap. The room, which was already only lit by a little fire, fell into a desperate darkness in an instant.
