Meng Xun was delighted when he learned that the engagement between Zhao Wan and Meng Zhao was cancelled.

Wan Wan was free again, so there would be no immoral taboos between the two of them in the future.

But what worried him was that Wan Wan refused to see him and was unwilling to return to the Meng family.

Once the engagement was cancelled, it seemed that the distance between the two of them became even greater.

In the past, although there was a generation gap between the two of them, at least they lived in the same house and he could see her every day.

Now, the gate of the Zhao family is closed, the walls are high and strict, and there are servants patrolling the yard twelve hours a day.

It is difficult for Meng Xun to see Zhao Wan.

Zhao Wan has been pregnant for more than two months. If she delays any longer, her belly will become visibly large, and then she will be pregnant.

Meng Xun wants to marry her home as soon as possible to take care of the baby. When the baby is born after the full term, he will say that it is a premature baby, born two months earlier, which will also conceal the truth and prevent others from gossiping.

But it seems that Zhao Wan, who has broken off the engagement, is no longer worried about the child.

The old man of the Zhao family has already thought of a solution. During this period of time, he asked Zhao Wan not to go out and to take care of the baby at home. When the baby is born, he will say that it is an adopted child.

Zhao Wan doesn't want to get married, and he won't force her. After all, the Zhao family has a child to inherit the family business.

In the future, if you are worried that Zhao Wan will have a hard time raising a child alone, then it would be a good idea to marry a man with good character and a poor family to be a son-in-law to help her share the housework.

Meng Xun didn't know that the old man of the Zhao family wanted to marry a son-in-law for Zhao Wan. If he knew, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood on the spot.

He is still alive and well. Why should his children call another man father? How can he bear such a shame?

Of course, now is not the time to be angry.

If you want to marry Zhao Wan, you must first pass the hurdle of the old man of the Zhao family.

But the old man of the Zhao family had a very bad first impression of Meng Xun. Meng Xun asked to see him several times, but was rejected.

On this day, the old man of the Zhao family came back from the shop in a carriage. When he arrived at his door, he opened the curtain and stepped down. Before he could even stand firmly on his heels

, a figure suddenly stepped out from the front and knelt down in front of him.

"Master Zhao, my elder brother was unjust and ruined the relationship between the two families. I am willing to atone for my brother's sin and accept the punishment. I beg you to marry Wanwan to me to repair the relationship between the two families." Meng Xun, who was kneeling on the ground, kowtowed to Master Zhao and said solemnly.

Master Zhao glanced at Meng Xun on the ground, his face cold and gloomy. He still had a grudge in his heart about the fact that the mother and son of the Meng family teased the father and daughter of the Zhao family, so he naturally would not give Meng Xun a good face.

"Our Zhao family cannot afford to marry your Meng family. The marriage between the two families is cancelled. Please go back early!" Mr. Zhao said this coldly and left.

Mr. Zhao entered the house and immediately asked his wife to close the door.

An hour later, the sun was setting in the west, and the residual light of the sunset hit the handsome face of Meng Xun who was still kneeling on the ground.

Chunyue went to the street to buy sour plums for Zhao Wan. When she returned home, she went through the front door and saw Meng Xun kneeling on the ground.

Chunyue hurried back to the house and told Zhao Wan: "Miss, when I came back just now, I saw the second young master kneeling at the door."

Zhao Wan's hand holding the sour plum paused slightly, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and she asked casually: "Why is he kneeling outside?"

"I don't know, it seems that he has been kneeling for a long time, and the second young master's lips are dry and dehydrated."

"Oh."

Zhao Wan didn't ask any more questions. She opened the jar, took out a sour plum, put it in her mouth, and chewed it slowly.

Another half an hour later, the sunset in the west had completely disappeared.

After Zhao Wan finished her dinner, she strolled around the yard in the name of digesting food.

As she strolled, she couldn't help but walk to the front door.

She quietly opened a crack in the door and looked outside.

With the faint light from the two lanterns hanging on the eaves of the main entrance, Zhao Wan caught a glimpse of the man kneeling on the ground with his back straight.

The day was getting darker and darker. Zhao Wan glanced outside a few times, her red lips moving, as if she wanted to say something but stopped.

The man must have been hungry for almost a day. She wanted to tell Meng Xun to go home and stop kneeling.

But she couldn't say it.

Once she said it, it would show how much she cared about him.

Zhao Wan had just been struggling for a while when the man kneeling outside the door suddenly stood up.

Perhaps because he had been kneeling for too long, his legs were numb, and his limbs were not supplied with enough blood, Meng Xun's body swayed twice when he stood up.

After Meng Xun stood still, he turned around and walked away slowly in the hazy night.

When Zhao Wan looked outside again, she could only see a blurry figure walking away.
