Chapter 184 If I died, would you be sad?



Chapter 184 If I died, would you be sad?

Is Gu Ci coming back?

Such a simple and light sentence shocked the other three people.

Especially Qin Lang.

At this moment, he didn't care about the burning tea and his eyes were wide open.

People say that watery eyes can speak. Qin Lang's eyes are neither watery nor beautiful, but they can still speak and even roar:

Are you crazy?

Pei Jian ignored him, not even giving him a glance, but looked at Nian Xi, his voice as cold as jade and as clear as the evening, "There's no need to wait endlessly, he will be back soon."

Qin Lang didn't know why Pei Yan was so sure.

But he was very sure of one thing: that madman Pei Jian must have done something behind his back.

He beat Fang Hongxi to death, got rid of Prince Jing, and now he wants to transfer Gu Ci back to Beijing...

Qin Lang really wanted to climb onto his shoulders and shake him a few times to wake him up. Under the imperial power, there was no room for him to act so erratically.

Thunder, lightning, rain and dew, your majesty is unpredictable.

Gu Ci was a general guarding the border and fighting there. He had a heavy responsibility and was not allowed to return to the capital without an imperial edict.

But Pei Jian actually promised in front of his sister that he would be back soon.

As a brother, Qin Lang was naturally happy that Gu Ci had returned, but besides being happy, he was more worried about Pei Jian.

The current situation in the capital is turbulent, and Pei Jian has made many enemies. His situation is not much better than Gu Ci's in the midst of war, and may even be more dangerous and he is walking on thin ice.

But what Pei Jian said was of great significance, and he was talking to Nian Xi, so Gu Ci would definitely return to the capital.

Qin Lang sighed deeply in his heart.

Bury your worries deep in your heart.

What is love?

Qin Lang didn't know.

But he clearly saw a trace in Pei Jian——

He lost control when he first met Nianxi, plundered her without regard for morality, broke up with his friends, did all kinds of shameful things, went from being calm to being crazy, and didn't care about anything...

Now he is running madly on the road to becoming a love saint.

If Gu Ci comes back, will my sister still see him in her eyes?

People's minds are always biased.

The review was good, really good.

But for his sister, Pei Jian did more behind the scenes.

Qin Lang couldn't help but wonder, if the first encounter on Shangsi Festival was not in Qushui, but in Chongming Tower, and it belonged to his sister and Pei Jian, then what would everything be like?

But there are never any ifs in this world.

Unlike Qin Lang's complicated thoughts, Wen Qingheng was simply happy.

As a result, I began to like Pei Jian a little more.

"About what time? Let's clean him up."

Pei Jian showed a faint smile on his elegant face, his beautiful eyes were dark and deep. He did not look at Nian Xi again, and poured himself another cup of tea, "It will be soon."

Pei Jian hasn't had a drink for a long time.

When he was just reborn, he needed alcohol to numb himself. He was in a daze and confused for a long time. Now he no longer needs these external things.

A meal is neither salty nor bland.

Qin Lang saw that Pei Yan had something to say to his sister, so he pulled Wen Qingheng over and started chatting with him about random things.

Wen Qingheng was not stupid, so he naturally saw his intention and gave him a disdainful look, "You are the only one who has good sense."

"Times are so pitiful. When Gu Ci comes back, will there still be a place for him by my sister's side?" Qin Lang was full of regret, "Why can't your family have another sister?"

Wen Qingheng was annoyed, "If I have another sister, I don't know how many more stinky men I'll have. It will be so annoying!"

While the two were arguing, Nian Xi and Pei Jian were walking towards the carriage.

Just now Pei Jian said that he was going to come back after resigning. Nian Xi was happy, but like Qin Lang, she knew that this was not an easy thing to do.

"What are you going to do?" Nian Xi asked.

Pei Jian curled his lips slightly, his peach blossom eyes were deep, and he seemed to have many words to say when he looked at people. However, he was always silent, and he didn't want to let her know about what he was going to do.

"Worried about me? I thought you would be happy to come back after resigning."

Nian Xi: “I am indeed very happy.”

Pei Jian smiled, "That's good."

He is always like this, refusing to say anything.

Nian Xi didn't want to ask any more questions.

When she got closer to the carriage, Pei Jian suddenly called her.

Nian Xi turned around.

He asked, "Would you be sad if I died?"

Nian Xi bet, "No!"

Pei Jian's thick and long eyelashes covered his eyes, and his eyes were half-closed. He seemed indifferent and cold, but in the unknown corner, he was full of tenderness and affection.

Hearing Nianxi say no, the smile on his lips grew wider and gentler, "That's good."

"I hope you won't be sad."

Nian Xi felt a little flustered for some reason. She turned around and walked over to him, looking up and asking him, "What do you mean?"

"Nothing. It's just that I made you sad too many times in the past. Now I don't want to make you sad because of me anymore." He looked normal, even jokingly.

But Pei Jian is not the type to make jokes so easily.

Besides, his jokes weren't funny.

"Pei Jian, how did you die?"

Nian Xi had asked him this question before, but he never gave a direct answer.

"Poisoned." Pei Jian said.

"Like me?"

"Same as you."

At dawn that day, Pei Jian came out of the palace and heard the news of Nian Xi's death. He then vomited blood and fainted. When he woke up, he was in the Imperial College.

Regarding rebirth, he thought of many possibilities, the only certainty was that he came here to follow Nian Xi.

He wants to protect her.

However, Nianxi does not need to know all this. She does not need any pressure or burden. She just wants to be happy.

At this moment, those clear almond eyes were filled with worry. Pei Jian hesitated for a long time, but finally raised his hand and patted her head twice, "I am the omnipotent Pei Shizhang, what are you afraid of?"

Nian Xi's expression froze, and she was dazed for a moment.

A long time ago, Pei Jian liked to pat her head. When they were newly married, she sent him to the government office and reminded him carefully before leaving, "My husband, please come back soon."

Pei Jian would smile and pat her on the head.

Nian Xi always complained that he made her look shorter than she actually was, so Pei Jian would bend down to look at her at eye level and say, “I’ll hit you back.”

She felt embarrassed by those peach blossom eyes, so she told him to close his eyes, then gave him a quick kiss on the forehead, "Okay, I'm back."

They had a good life at that time.

As the time they have been apart grows longer, Nianxi basically no longer reminisces about the past.

Thinking about it now, it seems like a lifetime ago.

Nian Xi came back to her senses and said to Pei Jian seriously, "Pei Jian, you don't owe me anything, and you don't have to pay for me. People always have to move forward."

Pei Jian understood the hidden meaning in her words, "I miss Gu Ci."

This sentence is a bit funny, but also a bit sad.

Nian Xi suddenly thought of something, "If you hadn't died in your previous life, would he have been——"

"Um."

Pei Jian nodded.

The new emperor has ascended the throne, the northern border is stable, and soon, Marquis Gu Ci will be recalled to the capital.

At that time, he would take his wife Nianxi to meet his best brother.

It's just too late to do anything.

But it's too late.

"You're actually a very good person," Nian Xi asked, "Why do you often act so annoying?"

"yes."

Pei Jian softened his tone and frowned helplessly, "This is really puzzling."
