Chapter 85 From Beginning to Ending Abandonment
"Lady Xue, do you know what you're saying?" Xie Yunman asked in surprise.
Seeing that things had already come to this point, Xue Weiyang was no longer embarrassed and decided to explain the situation clearly.
"I know. I want you to marry me."
Xie Yunman hurriedly took two steps back, waving his hands repeatedly:
No, no, no...
My family...our Xie family...is of humble origin, and we are not worthy of your Duke Zhenguo's mansion.
Lady Xue is from a noble family, and she's destined to be the head of the Eastern Palace. We...we...are not suitable."
This time it was Xie Yunman's turn to stutter.
Seeing Xie Yunman refuse, Xue Weiyang hurriedly stepped forward and explained:
"I didn't do this on a whim; I thought about it seriously."
First of all, we have quite a connection; you saved me, and I saved you.
Secondly, I find you quite pleasing to the eye.
I've also heard that your family only allows men to take concubines if they are forty years old and still childless. I think that's a good rule..."
Before Xue Weiyang could finish speaking, Xie Yunman interrupted her:
“Miss Xue, since ancient times, marriage has been arranged by parents and matchmakers. If we two talk about these things here, it may damage your reputation.”
I...I...I'll take my leave now.
After saying these words, Xie Yunman turned and left, and after a few steps she started running.
This time he ran even faster than when he dodged the assassin.
Xue Weiyang was left standing there in a daze.
The two of them couldn't reach an agreement on the matter.
Xie Yunyu was pushed to the side of the street and was at a loss when she saw Qingfeng coming down from the building in front of her.
"Thank you, Madam Xie. My Prince saw you upstairs and sent his men down to greet you."
After listening to her, Xie Yunyu looked up and saw Xiao Ling standing at the window on the third floor, looking down at her.
Xie Yunyu didn't stand on ceremony and followed Qingfeng upstairs.
Qingquan was reporting to Xiao Ling: "Master, it seems there was another group of people who wanted to separate Xie's third daughter and second son."
I thought those people looked like they were in the military.
Xiao Ling frowned upon hearing this: "The military? Have they found out their purpose?"
Qingquan shook his head.
"Go, and make sure the safety of the second young master of the Xie family is guaranteed."
Qingquan obeyed the order and disappeared into the darkness.
When Xie Yunyu came in, Xiao Ling stood in the middle of the room to greet her.
After Qingfeng brought the person in, he immediately closed the door and stood guard at the entrance.
Xiao Ling smiled and said to Xie Yunyu, "There were too many people downstairs just now, did you get crowded?"
Xie Yunyu pouted and looked at him: "Hypocritical. Weren't all those people arranged by you?"
Xiao Ling awkwardly touched his nose: "You figured it out."
He stepped forward and took Xie Yunyu's hand, saying, "That's all your second brother's fault. He's wary of me like I'm a thief. I only resorted to this because I couldn't see you."
The two had a rather ambiguous relationship, and Xie Yunyu was no longer very resistant to Xiao Ling's touch.
"Your hands feel quite warm," Xiao Ling said.
"Having walked all this way, my whole body is naturally warm."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling reached out and took off her cloak, placing it aside.
Then he pulled Xie Yunyu to sit down at the table.
Xie Yunyu looked at the tea brewing on the small red clay stove on the table, and the seven-colored tea snacks in the box, which were fresh and elegant.
Several cushions were placed on the thick carpet, and the two knelt side by side on the cushions.
Xiao Ling poured Xie Yunyu a cup of tea.
"Have some to warm up."
Xie Yunyu took the teacup, glanced at Xie Yunyu's empty wrist, and suddenly asked with some displeasure:
Don't you like the bracelet I gave you? I haven't seen you wearing it.
Xie Yunyu took a small sip of tea, then looked innocently at Xiao Ling with her large, bright eyes:
"It's too valuable. I'm afraid my family will see it and ask about it. I don't know how to explain it."
Xiao Ling's heart softened immediately upon seeing her gaze.
"Can you see the words on it?"
Xie Yunyu nodded.
That very night, after receiving the bracelet, Xie Yunyu took a shower and lay in bed. She put the bracelet on her wrist and noticed a line of text engraved on the inside:
To hold your hand and grow old together.
Xie Yunyu smiled, took off the bracelet, put it back in her purse, and placed it under her pillow.
I slept soundly, completely satisfied.
"That's my sentiment. Since I can't be by your side for the New Year, let this bracelet accompany you."
Xie Yunyu suddenly laughed upon hearing this.
"Your sweet talk is so eloquent. It's said that you're aloof in the capital. It's time to let all those infatuated young ladies see what you're like now."
“I have always been like this; they are just spreading rumors.”
Xiao Ling said, fiddling with the tea set.
"Then why did you always act so aloof?" Xie Yunyu asked curiously.
"Because I was impatient, I gave them a hard time, hoping they would back down," Xiao Ling replied.
"Then you might have backfired, making them even more obsessed."
Xie Yunyu joked.
I don't care whether they're obsessed or not; I only care whether you're obsessed with me or not.
Xiao Ling turned to look at Xie Yunyu and asked.
“Obsessed, extremely obsessed…” Xie Yunyu echoed with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling visibly became happy.
But she said resentfully, "I don't like those people you talk about who are obsessed with me. I only like you."
But you're not infatuated with me, sigh..."
"I already said I'm obsessed."
"You're just giving me the runaround."
"I didn't mean it. My feelings were genuine," Xie Yunyu retorted.
Xiao Ling sighed and continued resentfully, "You don't want to possess me, nor do you want to marry me and monopolize me."
So I conclude that you're just giving me the runaround.
Xie Yunyu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and it seemed to make sense.
"You still think you can be with me briefly, and then abandon me after using me for a while? Don't think I don't know."
Upon hearing Xiao Ling's words, Xie Yunyu immediately felt as if Xiao Ling could read her mind.
Listening to Xiao Ling's resentful words, Xie Yunyu felt that Gu Yu was right; she was like an irresponsible, scumbag woman.
Xiao Ling knew this so clearly because it was Qing Chen's retelling.
When I first found out, I was heartbroken for a whole day.
Finally, Qingfeng said, "Actually, it's not bad news. At least things have progressed."
The third daughter of the Xie family has gone from being resistant at the beginning to being willing to spend some time with you now.
If you try a little harder, maybe she'll agree to marry you, and you can be together forever.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling realized it made sense and immediately felt relieved.
Xie Yunyu felt guilty at the moment, realizing she had been half-hearted in her relationship and was ready to dump him at any time.
However, he never expected that his intentions would be guessed by the other party.
What might we do now?
After all, this was her first time being a "bad girl," and she had little experience.
Xie Yunyu carefully considered the methods used by scumbags and gold diggers online in her previous life, hoping to find something she could learn from them.
I suddenly remembered someone saying that bags can cure all diseases, and money can cure all diseases too.
But he doesn't lack bags or money, does he?
Suddenly, I remembered a cheesy trick: kiss the other person when they're angry, and keep kissing them as long as they stay angry.
One kiss is enough.
Seeing Xiao Ling's resentful face, Xie Yunyu put down her teacup and moved closer to Xiao Ling.
Because they were kneeling together, Xie Yunyu could easily lean over and gently kiss his cheek.
Then, looking up innocently, she asked, "Are you still angry?"
Xiao Ling was stunned and didn't react.
Staring blankly at the face before her, eyes sparkling, red lips slightly parted, looking at her so closely.
To Xie Yunyu, Xiao Ling's stunned expression meant that he was still angry.
So she leaned in and kissed his eyes again, then asked:
Are you still angry?
