Chapter 39 Shouldn't
Song Yuning looked around nervously, afraid that someone would suddenly break in. Seeing the two of them pulling each other, she tried to pull her hand out of each other's hand, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free.
Song Yuning frowned: "A Che, can you please let go of my hand first!"
When he heard the familiar name, Xiao Yunzhan relaxed his grip a little, but still held Song Yuning's wrist tightly and refused to let go.
When he was a child, he experienced a life-and-death escape.
He was thrown from his escape carriage and had to run desperately across the desolate mountains. Just when he thought he was about to be killed by an assassin, Song Yuning appeared and saved him.
From then on, whenever he woke up from a nightmare, he would always see Song Yuning, who was as cute as a sticky rice dumpling. Although still young, Song Yuning was very brave and reached out to save him.
She was quirky and often annoyed him, but sometimes she was very reliable. She told him that as long as he was alive, there was hope and everything was possible.
In Song Yuning's company, he felt extremely safe and warm. Even after returning to the palace, whenever he faced difficulties or unsolvable problems, Song Yuning would appear in his dreams and tell him with a smile and a firm tone: "As long as you are alive, everything is possible."
Later, he met Song Yuning again.
The once chubby glutinous rice dumpling has now grown into a cute and lovely girl.
At the beginning, Xiao Yunzhan had thought about helping Song Yuning more, as a way of repaying the kindness he had shown him that day.
But since some time ago, Xiao Yunzhan's dreams began to change and became more and more wrong.
After waking up from a dream, he was shocked beyond words. The dream was all about him and Song Yuning. It was not until this time that he finally realized that he had feelings for Song Yuning.
He despised himself but couldn't control himself. When he wanted to come over and see Song Yuning, he saw this scene in front of him. It made him feel like something of his was being coveted.
How could he not be angry and upset?
Xiao Yunzhan stared at Song Yuning firmly and asked again: "Are you really willing to marry him?"
Song Yuning frowned slightly, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes. She nodded gently and said, "Yes, I think he is very suitable. Among the men I know, he is indeed a good choice."
After hearing this, Xiao Yunzhan sneered, seeming dissatisfied with Song Yuning's answer.
He said with a hint of sarcasm, "You think he's suitable, but that's only because you know nothing about the Xu family's current situation. The Xu family's position in the court is no longer as high as it once was. Although the old man is still alive, once he passes away, the Xu family will be in trouble."
Therefore, no matter what the reason, you will never become Xu Hui's wife. The Xu family is still headed by Old Master Xu, so even if you have more calculations, it will be in vain.
My eighth sister is fourteen years old this year, about the same age as Xu Hui. Old Master Xu has already decided to let Xu Hui marry the princess.
No wonder Xu was so wary of Song Yuning. It turned out to be because of this. It seemed that there was no possibility for her and Xu Hui.
No matter what, she couldn't compete with the princess for the man. Song Yuning thought it through and made a decision to draw a clear line with Xu Hui in the future.
Song Yuning struggled to break free from Xiao Yunzhan's hand: "If I can't, then I can't. I don't have to be with him. I can find other targets."
"Then can't you just look at me? Am I no better than others?" Xiao Yunzhan thought that after saying this, Song Yuning should understand what he meant.
But seeing that Song Yuning pretended not to understand, he was really about to vomit blood in anger with her.
Song Yuning looked at Xiao Yunzhan seriously and sighed, "With your status, how could you possibly marry the daughter of a third-rank official? I returned to the Song Mansion because I had no choice.
But I want a good future. I don't want to be someone's concubine. I just want to find an ordinary person to marry and live a peaceful life. You can't give me these."
Xiao Yunzhan's body suddenly became stiff. Song Yuning was right. Whether in terms of status or other aspects, the two of them were completely incompatible.
If you have to stay together, one party must make concessions and compromises.
Xiao Yunzhan knew very well that as a prince, he would not give up his position easily.
Then, the only person who can make concessions is probably Song Yuning.
"I saved your life back then, and you gave me this jade pendant, promising to repay me in the future.
Now, I will return this jade pendant to you, please fulfill your promise.
I hope you can help me find a good family so that I can marry him and become his legal wife.
You are a noble prince. Once you say something, it is unchangeable. You should not break your promise, right?"
Song Yuning carefully took off the Pisces jade pendant and placed it in Xiao Yunzhan's hand, looking at him with firm and serious eyes.
Xiao Yunzhan opened his mouth, wanting to speak but not knowing how to start. In the end, he just silently clenched the jade pendant in his hand.
Yes, given the current situation, he really cannot marry Song Yuning.
If he insisted on being with Song Yuning, then at most he could only give her the title of concubine.
However, Song Yuning was obviously unwilling to accept such an arrangement, and he could not humiliate her like this.
After all, she had saved his life before, and he shouldn't repay kindness with hatred.
Finally, Xiao Yunzhan sighed helplessly, and then slowly said: "I understand."
He held the jade pendant tightly in his hand, then silently took two steps back, leaving a way for Song Yuning to leave.
Seeing this, Song Yuning breathed a sigh of relief. Without hesitation, she lifted her skirt and ran out quickly, as if she was afraid that the person behind her would regret it.
However, when she had just run a few steps, she suddenly stopped and looked back at Xiao Yunzhan.
Xiao Yunzhan's originally dull eyes suddenly lit up with surprise, and he secretly hoped that Song Yuning might change his mind.
Song Yuning said in a firm tone: "I will definitely return the money you lent me as soon as possible. Please give me some time.
Once I have the money together, I will definitely return it to you soon." After saying this, she did not stop, but turned around resolutely and continued running forward.
Xiao Yunzhan looked at Song Yuning's departing back, his heart filled with loss and helplessness.
Xiao Yunzhan stood there in a daze until Song Yuning disappeared for a long time.
It was not until the guards came to his side that Xiao Yunzhan woke up from his dream. He put the Pisces jade pendant close to his body, turned around and strode away.
