Chapter 572 Follow the Rules
Yan Qingqiu didn't move at all, just looked at An Yan. This made the old man realize that he still had to listen to An Yan's opinion. He immediately changed his tone and said to her, "This is the rule. There is no such thing as a day."
"Just do as you say, but send more people over." An Yan instructed the old man.
"Of course, we will ensure Mr. Li's safety." The old man replied, indicating that An Yan didn't need to worry.
"Okay, I'll go prepare." Yan Qingqiu said as he stood up and was about to go out of the house, but he saw Li Rongsen coming back, and behind him was someone, Ling Hai.
Meidie was startled, and she immediately felt a bitterness that was hard to conceal. Beifeng seemed to see it and immediately squeezed her hand tightly, fearing that she would relapse into her old feelings.
The old man immediately said to Li Rongsen, "Mr. Li, you should pack up and go to the river. Come back tomorrow after lunch and go into the city before dinner for the wedding banquet."
"I plan to leave before dawn tomorrow," said Li Rongsen.
"That won't do. We were told that we couldn't see each other for the whole day. You can't break the rules." The old man insisted, putting on a calm face and saying, "I've already told the city lord, and he agrees to abide by the rules."
"Okay, then I'll abide by the rules." Li Rongsen couldn't do anything about this old man, and he had to listen to An Yan besides.
An Yan said, "Just listen to him." Then she looked at Ling Hai, who had already taken off his plain clothes. She said to him, "You are the first guest to come and celebrate."
"Rong Sen and I are brothers, so naturally I have to come early to show my support." Ling Hai said calmly, still with his usual aloof and cold attitude. He didn't even look at Mei Die. He knew that she was going to follow Bei Feng, so he came to see her a day earlier.
Meidie stood up and said, "I'm a little sleepy, I'll go back to my room first." After that, she walked out of the house.
And Beifeng also left with her.
Linghai still didn't look at Meidie. He didn't dare to look at her and just treated her as a stranger.
Li Rongsen said to An Yan, "Let Linghai live in the inner city. He can take care of some things for me. There are plenty of rooms here anyway."
An Yan did not refuse. She wanted to give Li Rongsen this face and said, "Then let the old man arrange a room for us to rest. We can live in the inner city."
Li Rongsen nodded and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, tell Linghai and he will help you."
An Yan thought his words were strange, but she also guessed what he meant. She smiled and said to him, "You don't have to worry. I was completely cured after taking the Acacia Grass. It's true."
Yan Qingqiu couldn't stand hearing such words, as if a thorn was pricking him, so he moved a step to the side.
"Okay." Li Rongsen chuckled and nodded to her, then glanced towards Linghai.
Ling Hai naturally understood what he meant. He just wanted him to keep an eye on An Yan. Otherwise, there would be no need to come so early.
Li Rongsen gave Yan Qingqiu a look, indicating that he should leave with him.
Yan Qingqiu said, "Hey, prepare some snacks for me. I need to eat on the way, otherwise it will be very boring."
"Take the snack cabinet out of my room." An Yan ordered, and then said to Li Rongsen, "Tell me immediately if there is anything, and come early tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll come early."
"You can't enter the city even if you come so early. You have to enter the city at an auspicious time." The old man interrupted.
"You old man are such a killjoy." Yan Qingqiu sneered at him.
The old man didn't think he had done anything wrong and just said, "No matter what you say, you must follow the rules."
"I understand. I won't break the rules." Li Rongsen gestured to the old man to rest assured, and then left with Yan Qingqiu.
The sky gradually darkened and the moon became clearer and clearer.
Li Rongsen didn't ride a horse, but drove a carriage with Yan Qingqiu to the other side of the river. He said, "You haven't stopped all the way. Aren't you full?"
"I'm not full, I just ate some fruit." Yan Qingqiu didn't think much of it.
"Why do I feel uneasy? Maybe I'm just nervous." Li Rongsen told Yan Qingqiu the truth.
Yan Qingqiu took the last bite and then threw away the apple core. He said, "You actually let Ling Hai control her, fearing that she would be reduced to ashes."
"I must ensure her safety. It doesn't matter whether she remembers me or not." Li Rongsen said lightly.
"Indeed, Ling Hai is the most suitable candidate. He won't refuse to take out that thing just because of the relationship between you and An Yan. He has also determined that you two are not destined to be together." Yan Qingqiu chuckled lightly, with a hint of bitterness, and said, "Let's try our luck."
"Who is the male protagonist in the novel written by An Yan?" Li Rongsen asked Yan Qingqiu this question.
Yan Qingqiu rolled his eyes at him with disdain, then said, "You don't know what's going on, of course it's you. You used to be so close that every time you went out, you'd wrap yourself in a blanket that you couldn't tear apart."
"You're talking nonsense again. How can you go out wrapped in a blanket?"
"The point is not about the quilt, it's an embellishment, a metaphor. It means that you two love each other, and you are so good that you can only be together, just like you are right now." Yan Qingqiu felt that Li Rongsen was also a straight man.
"Why don't I have any recollection of it at all?" Li Rongsen frowned. He really had no recollection of it at all.
"It's a long story." Yan Qingqiu sighed and asked him, "Have you finished reading it?"
"After reading the first part, I saw that the hero sacrificed himself in order to temporarily break up the heroine's relationship with other men, allowing her freedom and giving her another chance to choose." Li Rongsen said. He didn't put himself in the story when he read it before, he just felt that it was written so realistically.
Yan Qingqiu said: "No matter how much I say, it's useless. You are still blank."
"So, the male protagonist is me, and I must have really done those things, so I don't have any impression of it?" Li Rongsen asked.
"Yes, that's it." Yan Qingqiu nodded.
Li Rongsen sighed and said, "If that's the case, I have to experience her amnesia as well."
"I hope you can be like An Yan and stick with her even if we have to start from scratch. Think carefully about how you treated her in the beginning." Yan Qingqiu reminded him.
Li Rongsen frowned and said, "It's a bit of an asshole, but I really don't know, and I misunderstood you, right?"
"That's right. I'm just trying to bring you two together. I don't like her. I love both of you." Yan Qingqiu said. He knew very well in his heart that this kind of feeling was not love, but a friendship of life and death.
Li Rongsen looked over at him and said, "I'm sorry for some of this. Please bear with me."
"Oh, I'm not such a stingy person." Yan Qingqiu said to him with a smile, and then said, "As long as you secretly give me some pocket money later, it will be fine."
"That won't work. An Yan said she doesn't allow it." Li Rongsen immediately refused.
"Really? I look down on you, you're a henpecked husband." Yan Qingqiu sneered at him.
Li Rongsen didn't say anything, but just looked up at the moon in the sky and said, "The moon is so beautiful tonight. I hope tomorrow will be a good day. If An Yan can't remember it, I will remember it."
The next day was indeed a good day with pleasant weather. Many guests had already arrived and were arranged by the old man to rest one by one. The gifts they brought were piled up like a mountain, and more people continued to come.
Because most people had a good relationship with Li Rongsen, they left the city early, saying that they wanted to support him in welcoming his bride. Beimo, Qinghua and others all went to wait for Li Rongsen's team to arrive earlier than An Yan.
