Feeling that he had been discovered, he turned around hurriedly. When he saw Leng Xi standing behind him, he immediately asked nervously:
"You...why are you here?"
Leng Xi's lips curled slightly, and he walked towards him while saying calmly:
"I've been here for a long time. I've been waiting for you since you went there."
Looking in the direction of the cold palace where he pointed, and judging from his gloating expression, Leng Xi had discovered that she had gone to the cold palace.
"I...Fifth Brother, you...you won't tell anyone about this, right?"
"Hahaha!"
Leng Xi suddenly raised his head and smiled. He came up to him, patted his shoulder lightly, raised his eyebrows and replied:
"Sixth brother, how could I possibly tell anyone about this? Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. It's rare that you're so filial that you'd go to the cold palace to see your mother. Don't worry, I came to see you just to ask how your preparations are going."
Hearing him say this, Leng Ming breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of what he was going to do in the evening, he rubbed his hands nervously.
"Fifth brother, is this okay? I...I'm a little worried."
"What do you have to worry about? As long as the matter is settled, Liu Dechang will definitely agree to marry his daughter to you to save his reputation. Father will not stop it. Even if she doesn't want to marry you, she has no choice. Don't worry!"
Leng Ming still murmured with some worry,
"Then...will something happen?"
"No."
Leng Xi looked at him indifferently.
"I've already made the arrangements. As long as you do as I say, just sit back and enjoy the feeling of having a beautiful woman in your arms!"
His words made Leng Ming's eyes flash with surprise. He dreamed of holding his beloved woman in his arms. Now that he had this good opportunity, how could he not be happy?
Leng Ming was a little uneasy throughout the afternoon. The emperor specifically ordered Liu Xi to inform him that if he liked any young lady from a minister's family, he could just tell him and the emperor would arrange a marriage for him.
But at this moment, he had no time to look at other women. His eyes were all on Luo Xue opposite him.
Luo Xue seemed to notice his strange look. She leaned over and said a few words in Luo Lan's ear, then stood up and left.
It turned out that Luo Xue felt that Leng Ming's gaze was too oppressive, and she wanted to go to another place to get some fresh air. She also expected that Leng Ming would come to find her after seeing her leave.
So she stood by the stream, looking at the clear water, waiting quietly for Leng Ming's arrival.
After a while, the sound of footsteps was heard. Luo Xue didn't look back, but she knew that the person coming must be Leng Ming.
"Stand there and don't come near me."
She turned around and looked coldly at Leng Ming who was walking towards her, with a cold look in her eyes.
Leng Ming stopped when he was still some distance away from her. He stared at her with uncontrollable joy in his eyes.
Before he could speak, Luo Xue couldn't wait to say:
"Leng Ming, it's just you and me here now. There are some things I need to make clear to you."
"Luo Xue, don't say anything, just listen to me first."
Luo Xue nodded helplessly.
"Okay, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I'm not in a hurry."
Leng Ming sorted out his thoughts, took two steps forward, looked at her seriously, and said with a serious face:
"Luo Xue, I noticed that you've been avoiding me recently. We were fine together before, but now you seem to hate me. Why is that?"
"I'm not hiding from you, I just don't want to give you the wrong impression."
"What illusion? You know I like you, I love you. You said you would give me time and let me change slowly, but I feel like you don't have the patience to wait for me anymore."
"I've given you time. Have you changed? Not only have you not changed, but what you've done is even more annoying than before. What I want to say to you today is, don't have any illusions about me. It's impossible for us to be together. It's impossible. I won't like you anymore."
Luo Xue's words made Leng Ming stand there in a daze. He felt as if his heart was being pulled by something, and even breathing became a little difficult.
"Leng Ming, you and I are not suitable, we are really not suitable. There are so many girls here today, you can choose one from them, they are thousands of times better than me, I can't do anything, I can't do needlework, reading, reciting poetry, painting, I can't do anything, I don't have any advantages, don't like me, like someone else."
Leng Ming's mind went blank. He suddenly felt that Luo Xue's words seemed to reach his ears from a distant place. He looked at Luo Xue's excited expression and his eyes suddenly turned red.
He originally thought that Luo Xue just disliked him because she thought he was incompetent. Now it seems that no matter what he becomes, she will not like him.
“Hehehe…”
He clenched his fists in his sleeves and smiled desperately.
His laughter made Luo Xue's heart uneasy, but since things had come to this, she might as well let him give up completely, so that he wouldn't have any inappropriate thoughts about her in the future.
Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and continued with hatred:
"Leng Ming, I don't think I'm worthy of you, really. I'm older than you, I have no talent, and besides my bad temper, I don't have any advantages. Please don't like me anymore, and I won't like you at all. There's no way we can be together, you... just give up!"
After leaving these words as cold as ice, Luo Xue prepared to turn around.
"etc……"
Leng Ming's voice suddenly became very calm. He looked up at Luo Xue and said seriously, word by word:
