Chapter 335: Not Controlled
Some places in this world are very hidden and not everyone can find them, such as this place.
It is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and a piece of flat land in the middle has been renovated into a town-like place, with blue bricks, black tiles, white walls and tall buildings. It is a paradise on earth.
Most people here don't leave the mountain unless it's something important, and they need the town master's approval to leave. To get there, you have to go through a secret passage in the mountain.
Li Rongsen came here with Lingxian. He opened the car window and looked out. The town was full of trees with red flowers, which were in full bloom.
Lingji smiled and said to him, "We'll live here, but if you're bored, I can go for a walk with you."
Li Rongsen did not answer, he seemed only concerned about the scenery outside.
Lingji was not annoyed. She had already taken the man in, so she didn't have to worry about him not being attracted to her. Although she knew in her heart that the best outcome would be to treat him with respect, and there was no guarantee of love.
But she doesn't care, as long as the two of them can be together.
The carriage finally stopped at a tall red gate. Lingxian got out first, and then said, "Rongsen, you get out now. We're home."
Li Rongsen got off the carriage and found that the gate here looked like the city gate in the imperial palace.
"Of course, this place is not as big as a real palace, but it is also built with great care. I will take you in." Lingxian said as she was about to hold Li Rongsen's hand.
Li Rongsen shook his hand, intentionally preventing her from catching him, and walked forward on his own.
Lingxian glanced at her empty hand, then strode after him and said, "Rongsen, let's get married soon, okay?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to show me the family heirloom?" Li Rongsen went straight to the point.
Lingxian's smile froze, and then she said, "Don't be so anxious. I'll show it to you after we get married."
"I'm here, are you still afraid I'll run away?" Li Rongsen said as he stamped his feet, turned around and stared at Lingxian. When she didn't answer, he said again, "Why, you lied to me."
"Of course not. I never lie to you and I won't lie to you."
"Then please take it out and let me see it." Li Rongsen said.
Lingxian thought for a moment, then said, "The thing is in my father's hands, and I should tell him about it."
"I want to see it before the wedding, otherwise don't blame me for changing my mind." Li Rongsen reminded her indifferently.
"You're here now, do you still want to leave?" Lingxian was not afraid of his threat because she was confident that he could not beat her. It was not like she had never fought with him before.
But Li Rongsen immediately reached out and grabbed her neck, then lifted her up and leaned her against the wall, saying, "Look at me now, I can't leave. Who can do anything to me? Do you really think you can trap me?"
Lingxian wanted to resist but was powerless. She felt like she was almost out of breath and said, "Put me down."
As soon as Li Rongsen let go, he saw Lingxian sliding down the wall. Then he gasped for breath and couldn't help but touch his chest and asked, "How did you suddenly become so powerful?"
"I'm just reminding you that I can leave at any time." Li Rongsen said again. He didn't know why he became so powerful, but he knew it was because of the small pearl pills Yan Qingqiu gave him.
Lingxian hadn't been worried or concerned at first, but when she saw that Li Rongsen was no longer under her control, she felt fear. She had finally caught him, so she naturally couldn't let him go easily. Therefore, she had no choice but to agree and said, "I know, I will do it."
"Then you lead the way." Li Rongsen said.
Lingxian tidied her clothes, then walked in front and led Li Rongsen into a villa.
The further you walk inside, the more you feel that this place is the imperial palace. There is no difference at all. It is magnificent and luxurious. There are always servants walking back and forth, wearing the same clothes, and all bowing respectfully to Lingxian.
Li Rongsen was led into a courtyard. In the center of the courtyard stood a huge crabapple tree with flowers blooming, white like clouds.
Lingxian motioned Li Rongsen to sit down, and then said to him gently, "I'll ask them to bring up snacks and tea, and I'll also embroider some gorgeous clothes for you." After saying that, she left.
Li Rongsen looked around. He glanced at his cell phone and found that there was no signal. But that was not surprising. Everything here looked ancient, without any modern style.
He looked at the name An Yan in the address book for a long time. He really would never see her again. He didn't know how she was doing. He heard Yan Qingqiu say that she had set a date for her engagement with Wen Jiaer. He didn't know if she was really happy.
A gust of wind blew, bringing in a few white petals, which landed on Li Rongsen's clothes. He picked them up and looked at them, and then saw Lingxian walk in, followed by many servants, each holding food in their hands, which they placed on the table one by one.
Lingxian said, "Come, have some tea first." Then she brought a cup to Li Rongsen.
Li Rongsen lowered his eyes to look at the tea but did not take it. He asked, "Is there any poison in it?"
"Of course not." Lingxian lowered her eyes and smiled, thinking that this was not poison, but just some bone softening powder, which would not harm life.
Li Rongsen glanced around and said to a maid, "You, come here and drink this bowl of tea."
"What's this for? She doesn't deserve this tea."
"I asked her to drink it, so she deserves it." Li Rongsen said coldly, his eyes full of disdain for Lingxian.
Lingxian gasped and tried to drink it herself so as not to reveal her secret, but Li Rongsen snatched it from her hand and said, "I didn't tell you to drink it, why are you snatching it?"
"Rongsen." Lingxian began to panic. She found that she did not know Li Rongsen and had never thought that he was so alert. But she also felt that she was wrong because he was also very wise in his previous lives. Otherwise, how could a king of a different surname seize the throne and become emperor.
All the servants in the room knelt on the ground.
Li Rongsen looked at Lingxian and said to her, "I advise you not to waste your energy. No poison or medicine will work on me." After that, he drank the tea in the cup in one gulp and threw the cup on the table.
Lingxian stood there without saying a word. She didn't know what to say. She thought that he was not like this when facing An Yan. He was as gentle as a little lamb and always trying to please her. She couldn't help feeling jealous.
Li Rongsen didn't look at her. He just sat down and said, "Everyone get out."
Lingxian said calmly: "Everyone go out."
"You leave too." Li Rongsen didn't even want to lift his eyelids to look at her. He just felt an inexplicable irritation in his chest, an inexplicable unwillingness to compromise with this place.
"Rongsen, what are you angry about?" Lingxian asked cautiously, adding, "It's strange at first, but you'll get used to it slowly. There are many people here, and you'll make new friends and interactions."
Li Rongsen didn't answer. He didn't want to say anything to her. He had his own plans.
Lingxian also wanted to please him. After all, she went there to talk about love with him. She whispered, "I'll go discuss it with father right away. You take a rest first. I'll come to see you later." Then she turned and left.
This place is always different from other places. It never rains. There is a breeze occasionally, but never a drop of rain.
But the situation was quite different at An Yan's place. It was raining and the rain was hitting the windows.
Nissen was standing next to Anyan, waiting for her to review all the documents.
Yan Qingqiu was also in the office. He was the most comfortable, sitting on the sofa, and asked, "An Yan, are you planning to take over Li Rongsen's company?"
