Chapter 676: Accomplishment
Mr. Tang, I like you.
The sunlight slanted into the pavilion, reflecting Li Zimu's figure in Tang Chen's dazed eyes.
Although the former had already prepared himself mentally, when he actually heard this "confession" which was most likely not sincere, he was still stunned.
It’s hard to say what kind of mood Tang Chen is in now.
There may be illusory joy, there may be instinctive excitement, there may be the expectation of not wanting to wake up from a beautiful dream, and there may be the pain of "self-knowledge".
No matter what, Tang Chen knew that he would have to face reality eventually.
Even though he had already guessed the answer, in order to completely give up hope, he still summoned the tapir again after being stunned for a moment.
Just as he returned to Dantian, he was summoned out again. The tapir leopard, which looked like a pig with a green onion stuck in its nose, seemed a little impatient.
But Tang Chen was its master after all, so it just hummed twice to express its dissatisfaction, and then looked towards Lizimu again.
As for Tang Chen at this moment, he did not pay attention to the actions of the tapir leopard, and his eyes were always on Li Zimu.
He saw the latter's gentle eyes, saw his handkerchief tightly clenched in her hands, and saw her slightly red neck and earlobes.
At a certain moment, Tang Chen suddenly had an illusion.
He felt that what Li Zimu had just said was true.
But reason kept reminding him that this was absolutely impossible.
well.
Knowing that there was no point in deceiving himself, Tang Chen sighed in his heart, looked away, and turned to look at the tapir leopard who should have come to the conclusion.
After the final fantasy, he was ready to face the cruel reality.
However, the long trunk slowly rose up and then fell straight down.
Just like a human nodding, the tapir's action at this moment was exactly the same as when he was testing Li Zimu's feelings for Chu Xianping just now.
It tapped its nose three times out of boredom and then stopped moving, indicating that its mission had been completed.
This also means that what Li Zimu just said is true.
“.”
His pupils suddenly contracted and Tang Chen was stunned.
He never expected that he would see such a result.
An outcome he had never expected.
But how is this possible? Countless thoughts rushed into his mind, making it impossible for Tang Chen to maintain his expression.
He stood there stupidly, not knowing how to deal with such a situation.
And just at this moment, Li Zimu, who had been waiting for a long time, happened to ask in a low voice:
"Mr. Tang, what's the result?"
“.”
Suddenly turning his head to look at Li Zimu whose cheeks were slightly red, Tang Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head.
"Of course it's fake."
"Really?"
Li Zimu first breathed a sigh of relief, but then asked with some concern: "Mr. Tang, are you telling the truth?"
"Miss Li, you don't have to doubt it."
Tang Chen said affirmatively: "I won't joke about this kind of thing."
"Okay, I understand."
Nodding slightly, Li Zimu looked at Tang Chen with some apology in his eyes.
"Mr. Tang, I'm sorry, maybe I shouldn't have told you about this."
"No problem."
Tang Chen waved his hands, his expression calm: "This is a good thing for both you and me, isn't it?"
"Well, Mr. Tang, I'm going back to the house first."
"good."
"By the way, do you want to go out for a walk today? I can accompany you."
"No need. I'm a little tired today. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
"Okay then."
Li Zimu looked at Tang Chen hesitantly and finally said nothing more. He walked out of the pavilion silently and soon disappeared at the end of the path.
Tang Chen stood there for a long time before walking towards a maid who was washing clothes not far away.
The maid was not very good at washing clothes. It took her half an hour to finish washing just a few pieces of clothes.
More importantly, the calluses on her right hand were obviously not formed by doing rough labor for a long period of time, but were the result of people who had practiced sword techniques since childhood.
Seeing Tang Chen walking towards her, the maid hurriedly lowered her head and pretended to continue washing the clothes that had already turned white.
Tang Chen did not point out her identity, but just stopped in front of her and said silently:
"Miss, please prepare a carriage for me. I want to go see Master Wei."
"By the way, please don't let Miss Li know about this."
"Thank you very much."
“.”
Half an hour later, at the Liangzhou government office.
When Wei Changtian had just finished discussing with Liang Zhen how to take over the teleportation array, the carriage that Tang Chen was riding in had already stopped at the back door of the provincial government office.
"Master, Master Tang is here."
A guard came in to report the situation. Wei Changtian and Liang Zhen looked at each other, nodded and ordered:
"Okay, just find a quiet room and take him there first. I'll be there later."
"yes!"
The guard bowed and immediately left.
At this time, Wei Changtian smiled and said to Liang Zhen: "Uncle Liang, you should understand what Li Zimu is doing now."
"I understand, but."
Everything that just happened in the pavilion was reported by someone in advance.
Although he didn't know what Li Zimu and Tang Chen said specifically, the scene of the two of them "pulling and tugging" in the pavilion finally made Liang Zhen realize that Li Zimu was using the "honey trap".
Obviously, this strategy is now showing to be very effective.
But there was still one thing he didn't quite understand.
"Changtian, how will Miss Li end up like this?"
"She can't really marry Tang Chen, right?"
"I definitely won't marry."
Wei Changtian curled his lips: "The person Li Zimu really likes is Chu Xianping. If nothing unexpected happens, she would rather be Brother Chu's concubine than be willing to be Tang Chen's wife."
"As for how it's going to end, I'll just find a random excuse to get by with it."
"That's true."
Liang Zhen nodded in agreement: "Anyway, the love between men and women is like a rootless duckweed. It can end at any time without any reasonable reason."
"Oh? Uncle Liang, I didn't expect you to have such insights."
Wei Changtian smiled and said, "I just wonder what will happen if Aunt hears this?"
"Well, the friendship between your aunt and I cannot be compared to duckweed."
Liang Zhen coughed dryly: "Just like you and Qin'er, both of you are in love."
"Hmm? Since you and my aunt have such a deep bond, and Uncle Liang, you haven't taken a concubine yet..."
Wei Changtian continued to tease, "Then where did you get that insight just now?"
"Why are you asking these questions?"
Liang Zhen's face turned red: "Who didn't have a few confidantes when they were young?"
"Hahaha, I'm afraid it's not as simple as just being a confidant!"
"Uncle Liang, I remember that we had a flower ranking in Anyi County, Luzhou two years ago. The lady who won the flower was named Su, Su..."
"Ahem, Su Yu."
"Oh, right! It was Madam Su Yu! Uncle Liang, you not only spent a wonderful night with her, but later you secretly took her to Shuzhou to live for some time."
"How did you know this?!"
"Uncle Liang, if you don't want others to know, then don't do it. Qin'er has already noticed something is wrong."
"So she didn't tell your aunt?"
"No, I stopped him."
"Okay! Changtian, I was right about you!"
“.”
In the conference room, Wei Changtian and Liang Zhen were chatting away without knowing what they were talking about; the atmosphere was relaxed and lively.
Tang Chen, who was ignored by them, was now sitting in a quiet room, and he was the only one in the room.
He looked up at the closed door, then silently lowered his eyes.
Judging from his clenched fists against his legs, Tang Chen must be very nervous now.
After all, the scene of Wei Changtian drinking tea in front of the four divine beasts a few days ago did bring him too much fear.
However, every time Tang Chen thought of Li Zimu's words, he would feel the necessary courage in his heart.
So no matter what, he had to make this trip.
For plum wood.
