Chapter 198 Do You Like Him?
When Lu Chenyang returned to the room, Zhao Xi had already prepared hot tea for him.
"Sir, it's cold outside, drink something hot to warm yourself up. I added some calming herbs so you can have a good sleep at night," Zhao Xi said softly.
Zhao Xi's attentiveness depends on the person. He is very considerate to Lu Chenyang, paying attention to every detail.
Otherwise, how could Lu Chenyang love her?
So no matter what others said about Zhao Xi, in Lu Chenyang's eyes, Zhao Xi was a gentle, considerate, careful, and intelligent girl. The vicious, cruel, cold, and heartless Zhao Xi that others said was not her at all, it was all other people's prejudice against her Zhao Xi!
There is no way around bias.
Lu Chenyang couldn't help but poke Zhao Xi's chubby face, his eyes full of admiration: "My Zhao Xi is so good, I don't know which brat will get her in the future."
Zhaoxi is not young anymore, she is already twenty years old. According to a woman's age, it is time for her to get married.
But Lu Chenyang has been too busy in recent years, running around everywhere, and has delayed this matter.
Zhao Xi said nonchalantly, "I'm going to stay with you for the rest of my life. What does it matter if we get married or not? Having you love me is better than having those stinky men."
Lu Chenyang wasn't the type of person who thought women had to get married. He sighed, "It's not about getting you married, it's just that I hope there's someone who treats you as well as I do. That's different. He'll appreciate you, love you, and accompany you for life. You'll have children and create a family. If not, it's not a big deal, but having such a person would naturally be nice."
Zhao Xi nodded perfunctorily, not caring about this. Instead, he looked at him and asked softly, "Did you meet that person, sir? Is it the prince?"
The two grew up together. Zhao Xi and Lu Xueyin always speak directly, saying what they think without any hesitation.
Lu Chenyang was stunned for a moment. He pursed his lips and avoided looking at her: "Naughty, why are you dragging me into this again?"
Zhao Xi held her face in her hands, blinking her big eyes at him, her gaze clear: "Because I think the prince likes you. Do you like the prince?"
Lu Chenyang looked conflicted.
Zhao Xiqi said, "Girl, you have always had your own opinions. I rarely see you so conflicted." She nodded seriously, "Then you must like me."
Lu Chenyang was a little confused: "I don't know... I don't know if he likes me. He said he likes me, but..."
Zhao Xi didn't care much: "My girl is so good, it's only natural that he likes her. But it's not important that he likes her. What's important is what you think. Do you like him and are you willing to be with him?"
Just as Lu Chenyang was about to say something, Zhao Xi interrupted him: "Putting aside your identities and your current situation. If you were not Lu Chenyang, but yourself, would you like him? Would you be willing to be with him?"
Lu Chenyang slowly pondered this possibility. If she met Yan Xing as Lu Xueyin, and there were no such problems between them, and she only looked at Yan Xing as a person, would she like him?
Lu Chenyang touched his chest and felt that it was beating a little faster.
Zhao Xi blinked and said, "It seems he is willing." Her voice was soft, but it was full of joy. "Indeed, although the prince is not as good as you, he is outstanding in appearance and talent, and he has helped you many times. It is only natural that you like him."
Lu Chenyang reacted belatedly and looked at Zhao Xi scrutinizingly, "Why do I feel like you're speaking well of him? Didn't you dislike him before?"
He still remembered that when Yan Xing wanted to stay overnight in his tent, Zhao was so angry that he almost poisoned Yan Xing to death.
Zhao Xi nodded. "We just met then, and we weren't familiar with each other. Now we've been through life and death together. He's sincere to you, and as a person... he's worthy of you. I'll reluctantly accept him." She thought for a moment, then whispered, "I also hope there's someone who can love and care for you and accompany you for the rest of your life."
Lu Chenyang was stunned. There weren't many people Zhao Xi could recognize. Even this reluctant statement was not easy.
Zhao Xi continued, "You've been an official for the young master for so many years, working tirelessly and treading on thin ice. Now, you have no choice. You've shouldered too much, but I just want you to live a happy and comfortable life. If there is someone who can accompany you and care about you, that would also be good."
She was so considerate that Lu Chenyang loved her so much that he reached out and touched her hair.
"How can my Zhao Xi be so considerate? In this case, I can't bear to marry you to that brat." Lu Chenyang said in a tone that seemed to be true or false.
Zhao Xi smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed together, and she felt so happy. She just liked Lu Chenyang praising her, saying that she was good and that he liked her.
Zhao Xi looked at him and said seriously, "Sir, I'm not speaking for the prince, but I want you to think seriously about whether you like him, putting aside those external factors."
Lu Chenyang's eyes became deep and he sighed softly.
Sometimes no answer is the best answer.
Zhaoxi’s calming tea was very effective. Lu Chenyang soon fell sleepy and lay on the bed, having a good night’s sleep.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, someone was setting off firecrackers and Lu Chenyang was awakened by the sound of firecrackers.
After Lu Chenyang washed up, he opened the door to his room. It was a beautiful day, with the sun lazily hanging in the sky. Yan Xing opened the door of the room across from him, and their eyes met.
When Tan Feng came to find Lu Chenyang, he saw Yan Xing and Lu Chenyang looking at each other across the empty yard in the distance. The two people standing at the two ends met their eyes, and the sunlight shone on them.
At that moment, the world was so quiet that it seemed as if only the two of them were left.
After the New Year, something seemed different.
Even a stubborn person like Tan Feng noticed it, let alone someone as smart as Yan Xing.
Lu Chenyang no longer avoided Yan Xing and his attitude towards him became much softer. It seemed that something was different. Anyway, Yan Xing enjoyed it very much.
All he wanted was to get along with her naturally like this. He no longer avoided his feelings. He was content as long as she could be with him like this.
Yan Xing also knew that he couldn't ask for too much now, and it was good enough as it was now.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Chenyang received a letter from Emperor Qianyuan.
Generally speaking, Emperor Qianyuan rarely wrote to Lu Chenyang on his own initiative. Usually, Lu Chenyang wrote memorials to Emperor Qianyuan, and Emperor Qianyuan would reply.
As we all know, it is usually not a good thing when a superior takes the initiative to look for his subordinates.
It’s New Year’s Day, and I don’t know what tricks Emperor Qianyuan has up his sleeve.
Lu Chenyang opened the letter and saw that it was a letter asking him to go to Beijing to report on his work.
Lu Chenyang has been away for many years. Given his current status, it is time for him to go to Beijing to report on his work.
But the rules can be changed as long as the power is strong enough.
