Seeing Ruyan's distracted look, Wu Liang thought she was considering it, so he took a deep breath and said, "Miss Ruyan, if you feel that I am forcing you, you can just reject me directly.

But I still hope you can think about it carefully. I will come and ask again another day, and please give me an answer then."

After saying this, he left in a hurry, as if he had done something shameless.

"Hey, brother, why did you stay in Ruyan's room for so long? What did you talk about?" Gu Yunru noticed Wu Liang, who looked flustered, as if he had done something wrong. He walked over and couldn't help but make a few jokes. He kept drinking. He quickly snatched the wine glass from his hand, "Are you crazy? You are still injured? What happened?"

"I... I don't know what happened just now. Did my brain short-circuit? I actually said those words to Miss Ruyan. I said I wanted to marry her, and if she was willing, I was willing to buy a property in the city.

After that, the two of us lived an ordinary life. Don’t girls like to live this kind of life? "

Wu Liang racked his brains but couldn't figure out if he had done anything wrong. "You are really brave, taking advantage of the opportunity!" Gu Yunru really underestimated him, so she poured him tea and drank the wine herself.

"Girl, why are you also worried?"

"I guess so. What exactly is this love? Some people, huh..." Gu Yunru felt bored halfway through his speech. He swallowed a mouthful of wine and felt a sense of coolness surge in his heart.

"Love, it can make people hurt, but it can also make people happy, I don't know..." Wu Liang smiled bitterly. He felt that this topic was a bit profound and heavy, so he discussed with Gu Yunru how to win Ruyan's heart.

"Brother, don't worry about what Ruyan thinks. After I finish dealing with one thing, you can go and ask for love boldly!"

"What's the matter?" Wu Liang asked curiously. Seeing her mysterious face, Gu Yunru raised her index finger to her lips and said, "I can't tell you now. Telling you would be like spoiling the story. Just wait patiently!"

"Um."

During this half month, Ji Heng would often come to see Ruyan, but after a month, Ji Heng never came to see Ruyan again. Ruyan's only hope in the house was to wait for Ji Heng to come and see her. Even if it was just a quick glance, she would feel satisfied.

Recently, there were footsteps lingering at the door again. Ruyan opened the door excitedly, but she didn't expect it was Wu Liang. The light in her eyes suddenly dimmed. Wu Liang didn't notice how lost her expression was, and walked in carrying a few pounds of beef.

"Ruyan, what do you think about what I told you last time?" Wu Liang said as he placed some snacks on the table. This was considered a marriage proposal.

"Brother Wu, please give me some time to think about it. I have been a little upset these days, and I want to prove something."

"What's up?"

"Don't worry about it. I will give you an answer the day after tomorrow!" Ruyan thought that she must muster up the courage to ask Ji Heng whether he would accept her or not. If she continued to wait like this, it would be worse than death and she would be in excruciating pain.

That night, Ruyan arrived at the gate of Ji's mansion, wearing a blue cloak and holding an umbrella. She knocked on the door. It was the butler who opened the door. The butler recognized Miss Ruyan, but did not like her because the princess had said that other women were not allowed to enter the mansion casually.

"What can I do for you?"

"Can you ask Ji Heng to come out and see me? I have something to ask him."

The housekeeper said in embarrassment: "The master took his wife to the Pear Garden to watch an opera, and he hasn't come back yet..." As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage came back. It turned out that Ji Heng brought Shu'er back from the opera, and the two of them got off the carriage in a loving and lingering manner.

They were talking and laughing along the way, but this scene deeply hurt Ruyan's eyes.

Ruyan came to the door of the two people, and the light rain hit her face. Ji Heng held the umbrella over Shu'er's head. Shu'er looked at Ruyan in front of her and said, "Ruyan, why did you come in such a heavy rain? Come in and sit down."

"No, I have a few words to say to Lord Ji, so please step aside for a moment." Ruyan hid her fist in her sleeve and looked at Ji Heng in front of her steadily.

His eyes were so strange and cold, totally different from the Ji Heng she knew before. Shu'er knew that Ruyan came to ask Ji Heng for an explanation, so she naturally did not suspect anything and returned to the mansion with the servants.

"Girl, it's raining so hard, let's go to the pavilion nearby and hide for a while."

"good."

Ruyan wanted to get closer to him, but he subconsciously dodged. Such a small movement made Ruyan a little dazed. When she came to the pavilion, Ji Heng naturally put away his umbrella and sat aside and said, "Miss, please tell me what you have to say. I have to listen to my wife's explanation of what the play said when I go back."

"Didn't you say you hate watching operas? Why did you take her to watch operas now?" Ruyan asked with some jealousy. The Ji Heng she knew knew nothing about these things. He was not interested in anything like romance... He was not interested in anything under the moon and flowers! But he broke this rule for a woman, which made her jealous.

"I don't understand what you are talking about. Besides, I am accompanying my wife to watch a play. It seems to have nothing to do with the young lady." Ji Heng looked at her puzzledly. His cold face already showed the word "unhappy". A sensible person would definitely not dare to ask any further questions. Ruyan's heart felt like being cut by a cold knife.

"Ji Heng! How can you be so heartless? Have you really forgotten the days we spent together? Have you forgotten everything you said to me?" Ruyan roared at him in grief and indignation. The sound of rain was getting heavier and heavier, and no one could hear what the two people in the pavilion were talking about.

"Please calm down, young lady. If I have offended you in any way before, please forgive me and don't take it personally.

It's getting late, you should go back early. Standing here with a man like me in the middle of the night is not good for your reputation." Ji Heng said, leaving the umbrella behind, and went back to Ji's house. She heard the door slam shut, and everything was silent. She was the only one left on the street, and there was the sound of the rain, which was noisy...
