Chapter 53 Sorry
Shu Wan was a little confused. She didn't know why Rong Chen suddenly wanted to take her away. By the time she reacted, they had already walked several feet away.
She turned around and winked at the two little girls, Chunhua and Qiuyue, asking them to keep an eye on the place and deliver the gifts prepared for everyone later.
The two little girls nodded hurriedly to show that they understood.
"Qiuyue, how about... how about you go and take a look, I'm a little worried about the young lady..." Chunhua really wanted to go, but she was afraid of Rong Chen from the bottom of her heart. Just now when Rong Chen was here, she even breathed carefully.
"Okay, I'll go over and take a look, you stay here!" Qiuyue nodded. She knew Chunhua was afraid of Rong Chen. Although she was afraid too, she couldn't just ignore Shu Wan because of her fear.
She followed him. If Rong Chen wanted to do anything to her young lady, she could get help for Shu Wan.
Along the way, Rong Chen didn't speak, and Shu Wan didn't speak either. Rong Chen's palms were very cold, but Shu Wan's palms were still sweaty and sticky. She wanted to pull her hands away, but Rong Chen didn't let her, so she stopped struggling.
Only after returning to Shu Wan's yard did Rong Chen let her go and turned around to stare at Shu Wan.
Shu Wan looked at him for a second and then looked away.
"Why did you call me here?" Shu Wan took the lead in speaking to break the deadlock.
"sorry!"
Just when Shu Wan thought that he didn't want to talk and was about to ask another question, she suddenly heard Rong Chen say this.
"Huh?" Shu Wan thought she had misheard and looked up at him in confusion.
Qiuyue, who ran over and was afraid of what Rong Chen might do to Shu Wan, retracted her head.
The city lord is not going to cause trouble for the young lady! Should she avoid it? Is it really okay to eavesdrop like this? So Qiuyue humbly ran away a little and squatted in the corner to draw circles.
"What did you say?" Seeing that Rong Chen was silent again, Shu Wan asked again, as if the "I'm sorry" just now was just her illusion.
It seemed that a door had been opened, and the next words would not be so difficult to say.
"I'm sorry!" Rong Chen spoke again somewhat awkwardly, "It's my fault that you have suffered all those criticisms. It won't happen again in the future!" Now it was Rong Chen's turn, the little arrogant, who didn't dare to look directly into Shu Wan's eyes.
"You called me here just to say this?" Shu Wan was a little shocked. "I thought it was a big deal? Don't worry, I don't take it seriously. It's just a few slanderous remarks. What's the big deal?" To Shu Wan, this really wasn't a big deal. It was just a few simple slanderous remarks and ridicules.
Shu Wan had been threatened and intimidated in his previous life!
Once, she took on a divorce case that no one in the industry dared to take over. She was the plaintiff's attorney, and the defendant had made a big mistake and was bound to lose. Once he lost the case, he would pay a heavy price, so the defendant could not divorce. So he relied on his power and influence to threaten Shu Wan, trying to put the defendant in a desperate situation. That time, Shu Wan did not back down, but faced the challenge head-on, and finally made the defendant pay the price he deserved. It was because of that battle that Shu Wan became famous in the industry and became a popular lawyer.
Thinking back now, were you afraid? Of course I was, but I couldn't choose to back off or go along with them just because I was afraid. If everyone succumbed to the power and didn't dare to speak up for justice, then what difference would there be between them and those heinous criminals?
"What are you laughing at?" For some reason, Rong Chen felt a little inexplicably irritated when he saw Shu Wan was so absorbed in thinking and even laughing.
She actually didn't care! "Oh, nothing!" Shu Wan suppressed her smile.
"You are really open-minded." Rong Chen's tone carried a hint of sourness that he himself did not even notice, "It's a pity that the city lord is still worried that you will think too much." What a heartless girl.
"Hey, what's the big deal!" Shu Wan didn't notice Rong Chen's abnormality, and walked to a stone bench and sat down. "People have to be open-minded when they are alive. No one can be perfect, and no one can be liked by everyone, right? If someone ridicules you and attacks you for some reason, you will feel resentful and depressed, then you can't live a good life, right? Those people say that I am not legitimate, so am I really not? Should I hide and cry sadly, or should I run over to argue with them, or even fight? And then force them to admit it?" Shu Wan poured himself a cup of tea.
Rong Chen walked over unconsciously and sat opposite her.
"If you ask me, as long as I am willing, let alone not getting married, even without going through the formalities, I say I am who I am, right?" Shu Wan didn't think much about it, he just simply expressed his opinion.
But the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.
Rong Chen didn't expect her to say this suddenly, and he felt a little flustered.
What she meant by this is that she is willing to be a true city lord's wife, right?
"You..." Rong Chen's mind twitched and he almost asked what was in his mind. Fortunately, his strong self-control stopped him at the critical moment.
"What?" Shu Wan had no idea what he was thinking.
"You are quite open-minded!" Rong Chen was disappointed and praised sincerely.
"Thank you." Shu Wan smiled, looking adorable.
"By the way." The topic should have ended here, but Rongcheng County was a little unwilling. "Tomorrow is a day off, and I don't have to go to the Military Affairs Office. It just so happens that one of my brothers has set up a banquet. Let's go together?" He just wanted to find an opportunity to spend time with Shu Wanduo.
"Can we go?" Shu Wan asked instead of answering. Don't they have any confidential matters to discuss?
"Of course." Rong Chen thought she had agreed.
"Are you apologizing to me?" Shu Wan asked after rolling his eyes.
Rong Chen looked a little confused. Didn't he just apologize? Didn't she say she didn't care? Why...
Could it be that what she said was just sarcasm, and she actually still cares about it in her heart, right?
Rong Chen, who had imagined a drama in his mind, felt a little proud.
"Rong Chen, do you think that if I don't tell you, I don't remember it?" Shu Wan said with a straight face, "Do you know that the girl next to me has had nightmares these days, and she thought you were going to kill her again!" This guy really acts as if nothing happened.
This time, Rong Chen laughed out loud.
