Chapter 263 The Gloom Disperses



Moreover, although I felt very angry at the time, it was only for a short while.

Putting aside the fact that Li Chang'an is not a vengeful person, even if she put herself in Feng Beichuan's shoes, she could understand how he felt at the time.

After all, no one in this world would willingly let their life's most important events be controlled by others.

What's more, he was being manipulated by two of his own enemies.

Unfortunately, she was not a good match for Feng Beichuan.

Perhaps the reason I was so angry at the time was simply because I couldn't accept that person's attitude.

After all, wasn't he also making such a crazy decision when he was completely unprepared?

And aren't I also someone who doesn't want to be manipulated by others?

However, all of this has long since faded into the past. Considering the many favors he owed Feng Beichuan, Li Chang'an was unable to remain angry with him.

"Chang An, you mean to say..."

Feng Beichuan stared in disbelief at the woman's calm and composed face, momentarily at a loss for words to express his feelings.

Li Chang'an turned to stare at Feng Beichuan for a long while, then smiled and said, "What did you say?"

"No...it's nothing."

Feng Beichuan murmured. At this moment, he felt as if a beam of warm light had shone into the gloom in his heart, and then gradually spread out, dispelling the gloom.

"In that case, let's continue eating."

Then, Li Chang'an nodded slightly to Feng Beichuan and spoke naturally.

Now that things have come to this, Feng Beichuan is completely at peace.

Liang Xuanjing was dumbfounded as he watched all this—this was not the kind of spectacle he wanted to see!

"Hey, you guys, you're just going to let it go like this?"

After a moment, Liang Xuanjing seemed to feel somewhat unwilling to have missed out on this gossip, and couldn't help but speak up again.

After saying that, he turned to look at Liu Mengwan, only to see that she just glanced at him indifferently before lowering her head to start dismantling a steamed crab.

Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an couldn't help but frown, then raised an eyebrow and asked in return, "What do you mean by that, Young Master Liang?"

Seeing the woman's displeased expression, Liang Xuanjing immediately waved his hand and grinned at her, saying, "Uh... what could I possibly mean? It's good that you're all alright! Come on, eat up, this steamed crab won't taste good if it gets cold..."

Those who understand the times are wise.

Moreover, Liang Xuanjing has always been good at reading people's expressions. Although he has a strong desire to explore gossip, at this critical juncture, he naturally cannot continue to act recklessly and talk nonsense.

After speaking, Liang Xuanjing pretended to pick up the steamed crab from the porcelain bowl in front of him, no longer looking at Li Chang'an and Feng Beichuan.

Li Chang'an couldn't help but snort coldly at this, too lazy to waste any more words on this cunning brat.

"Chang'an, come on, have some crab."

Just as Li Chang'an was intently criticizing Liang Xuanjing's actions in her mind, Feng Beichuan suddenly spoke up, pulling her back to reality.

Then, a plate of steamed crab, meticulously cleaned and carefully prepared, was handed over.

Li Chang'an instinctively wanted to refuse, but the words that came out of his mouth turned into a soft thank you.

Let's just say it's to avoid making him worry.

It's just a crab anyway, so we can just take it and be done with it. It's no big deal.

After accepting the plate of crab meat, Li Chang'an comforted himself for a while before he felt somewhat at ease.

After the meal, Liang Xuanjing wanted to drag this group of people along to hang out with him again, but this time no one was willing to give the young master Liang any face.

"Young Master Liang, I'm so sorry, I had some business to attend to and now that I've been delayed for so long, I should head back. Let's get together again next time!"

Liu Mengwan was the first to step forward to say goodbye, and she maintained a gentle and polite smile throughout her words.

Although these words were somewhat perfunctory, they were still impeccable.

Liang Xuanjing couldn't use his usual smooth-talking tricks on this Miss Liu. Since she wanted to leave, he couldn't very well try to persuade her to stay, so in the end he could only force a smile and say goodbye to Liu Mengwan.

Then, he turned his head and cast a hopeful glance at Li Chang'an and Feng Beichuan.

Oops!

Feng Beichuan's expression immediately changed.

I haven't figured out what excuse I should use to get out of here yet!

"As the saying goes, a walk after a meal will help you live to ninety-nine. How about we go out for a stroll to digest our food?"

As Liang Xuanjing spoke, he walked towards the two of them with a grin.

At this moment, Li Chang'an and Feng Beichuan were surprisingly in sync. Seeing the man walking gracefully towards them, they both took two steps back in unison.

"I have to go now. If you need to digest, you two can do it together!"

Li Chang'an was the first to react. After saying that, she turned around and turned to leave.

Upon seeing this, Feng Beichuan immediately became anxious. He quickly reached out to block Li Chang'an's path, his eyes inexplicably revealing a signal of pleading for help.

Two grown men strolling around together—that's an absolute joke!

Moreover, given Liang Xuanjing's talkative nature, Feng Beichuan felt his scalp tingle and his ears ring just thinking about his never-ending mouth, wishing he could become deaf immediately.

Unfortunately, Li Chang'an didn't seem to care whether he lived or died, and immediately raised an eyebrow and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Chang An, what you need to do... is there anything I can do to help?"

At this moment, Feng Beichuan's face was filled with longing, as if even the air he exhaled from his nose was telling him how much he didn't want to be with Liang Xuanjing.

Seeing the other person's miserable appearance, Li Chang'an couldn't help but feel a row of black lines appear on his head, and then he began to wonder what kind of help this person could possibly give him.

That's hilarious!

She doesn't even know what she's supposed to do, so how can she expect others to help her?

However, since we could fool Liang Xuanjing once, we can fool that person a second time.

So Li Chang'an, without even blinking, said again, "Oh, I forgot about that. There is indeed something I need the Regent's help with. In that case, let's go together!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Beichuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded and said, "Alright, since Your Highness has something I can do, then I, Feng, will certainly do my best!"

Liang Xuanjing almost fainted while watching the two of them sing and dance together.
