Chapter 069



Xie Shu felt both distressed and sad at this moment.

Obviously, I was the one who should be anxious, but my husband was so angry that he almost cried.

How could Xie Shu bear to see his lover really cry for him? The last time he saw his lover crying, Xie Shu thought that from now on, he never wanted to see his lover sad again.

And now...Xie Shu didn't know how to make her husband calm down.

Xie Shu took the food box handed to her by her husband with one hand and put it aside, while holding her husband tightly with the other hand.

Xie Shu held her husband's soft hand, her heart was full of knots, she took out all the words she had never said before, and tried her best to comfort him: "My husband, I am wrong, you can scold me, don't get angry because of me..."

After hearing this, and being held by him like this, Yu Chuxi no longer felt as uncomfortable as before. She couldn't help but glare at him and said, "Why would I scold you? Besides, if I get sick from anger, what does it have to do with you?"

Seeing that her husband had finally come back to his senses, Xie Shu leaned forward and gently hugged his waist, whispering, "How can it have nothing to do with you? My whole heart is with you, and seeing you angry, my heart is about to break..."

Yu Chuxi looked at Xie Shu in silence for a moment. He never expected Xie Shu to be like this, looking at him earnestly and saying such words pitifully.

What heart and lungs...

After a while, Yu Chuxi lowered his eyes and said, "Then you'd better not put your heart on me in the future, so as not to be like today, and break your heart or something, I can't fight back..."

After hearing this, Xie Shu looked at her husband with a smile.

The fact that Lang Jun can now turn the tables on him proves that Lang Jun's anger has subsided.

But Xie Shu also felt at this moment that her husband didn't seem to be simply angry because he didn't come down for dinner, otherwise he wouldn't always say such angry words about wanting to separate from her.

But Langjun's words and actions clearly mean the opposite, so Langjun is trying to get an...attitude from me.

So what exactly happened that made Langjun suddenly feel uneasy?

Just as Xie Shu was thinking, Yu Chuxi saw that Xie Shu did not answer, and his heart tightened. He was worried that he took it seriously, and could not help but look up at him.

Xie Shu had been staring at Yu Chuxi. At this time, Xie Shu tightened his arms and hugged her lover even tighter. When their bodies were pressed against each other, their skin touched, and even their heartbeats were almost touching.

Xie Shu smiled slightly and said softly, "My dear, don't you know how I feel? The person I think about every day is you, and only you."

Yu Chuxi stared at him blankly, her heart throbbing and sad, not knowing how to respond.

Xie Shu lowered her head and kissed her husband's face gently, then whispered in her husband's ear: "So, my husband, please don't ever say that you want to break up with me again. I have given my heart to you. If you don't want it, I won't take it back. You are the most important person in my heart, nothing can compare to you.

Before, I already knew your heart, now you should know mine...”

When Yu Chuxi heard this, his mind buzzed and his whole body trembled slightly. All the entangled things that had been lingering in his mind for a long time disappeared.

Xie Shu could actually understand him and comprehend him...

It turns out that he really cares about me and is serious about our relationship.

Love affairs like these are not worth mentioning at all in the hearts of many men who have great ambitions for the world. What they only want in their life is to achieve success. Even if they have had unforgettable pasts, they will only talk about the romantic affairs with their beloved women when they have achieved success.

But Xie Shu was able to give him the same response. How many men in this world can do that?

Yu Chuxi had never felt so satisfied before. It turned out that Xie Shu loved him as much as he did. So what was there for him to doubt from now on?

Even if the two of them were to separate in the future, he would have no regrets.

Xie Shu opened her mouth and saw a bright smile on her husband's face. Before she could feel happy, she saw tears flashing in his eyelashes.

Xie Shu felt distressed and sighed slightly. He was about to wipe away tears for his lover when Yu Chuxi suddenly held his face and kissed him.

Yu Chuxi's lips were soft and cool, but when they pressed against Xie Shu's, he felt as if they were burning hot like a brand.

After a while, when Yu Chuxi wanted to get out of his arms, Xie Shu looked at him deeply and pushed him back.

When curfew came at night, the moonlight poured down like mercury, sprinkling over the silent long street. The lights of thousands of houses gradually went out, but there was no one patrolling tonight because almost all the troops in Jinling City were now guarding the Gu family.

Xie Shu stood at the entrance of an alley, quietly waiting for Lu Shuo's arrival.

The days are long in summer, and the nights are already halfway through. As dawn was about to break in the sky, Xie Shu heard movement behind him. An inconspicuous sedan chair was carried by several people. It stopped not far from him, but did not land.

Soon, the curtain of the sedan chair was gently lifted.

Lu Shuo was dressed in white and had an upright posture. When he raised his eyelids to look at Xie Shu, he looked down at him with an unpredictable expression.

As soon as Lu Shuo showed up, even though Xie Shurao was well prepared, knowing that this Ziwei Ling, who had already reached the second rank, was only 28 years old this year, he was still surprised that he was so young and promising, and had such a great reputation.

Xie Shu was stunned for only a moment, then he bowed respectfully and said, "I am Xie Shu, and I am honored to meet you, Master Lu. If you don't mind, I will boldly call you Senior Brother."

Hearing this, Lu Shuo looked at Xie Shu with a half-smile, and said with a meaningful tone: "Oh? Before I came to Jinling, I didn't know that I had a new junior brother."

Xie Shu lowered his eyes and said earnestly, "Brother, you don't know. It's my fault. I have long heard of your great name before I became your disciple. I once wanted to write a letter to you... but I thought of your high position, your hard work and your lack of time for work, and I was afraid of disturbing you, so I didn't dare to do so."

Lu Shuo smiled faintly, and his attitude did not seem to be softened by these words. After a long while, he slowly said, "I see, Junior Brother is thoughtful."

Hearing that Lü Shuo had finally confirmed his identity, Xie Shu was not reassured. As expected, Lü Shuo looked straight at him and said in a slightly cold voice, "Junior brother, you should know the teacher's attitude towards me. I came to the teacher's house today, but the teacher refused to see me. Junior brother dared to take such a risk. Did you ask for the teacher's consent?"

Xie Shu's heart trembled, but under Lu Shuo's gaze, he just shook his head calmly and said: "I dare not deceive my senior brother. I have not told the teacher about this matter before coming to see my senior brother... It's not that I don't want to, but I have mentioned my senior brother to the teacher before, but..."

At this point, Xie Shu paused for a moment and continued, "But in my opinion, Senior Brother respects Teacher. Teacher sometimes mentions Senior Brother's past poems and essays in front of me and praises them highly. I think Teacher still regards Senior Brother as his most proud disciple, but for various reasons, he can't save face and doesn't want to see Senior Brother... Now that I am your disciple, how can I feel at ease when I see that Teacher and Senior Brother have misunderstandings?"

Lu Shuo raised his eyebrows when he heard this. If he didn't know Jiang Hong's character and that there was no misunderstanding between the two of them, he would have thought that was the case.

This "junior brother" of his is really interesting.

However, Lu Shuo just laughed it off. He knew Xie Shu before, but when he met him today, he found that he was very different from what he knew.

Although there are always many people in this world who are two-faced, there are many doubts among them.

But Lu Shuo did not try any further, because he was more curious, why did Xie Shu go to such great lengths to see him? It couldn't be that he really wanted to clear up the "misunderstanding" between him and his teacher, right?

After listening to Xie Shu's words, Lu Shu looked at Xie Shu with a hint of strangeness in his eyes.

It's no wonder that Lu Shuo did so, because anyone would be extremely surprised to hear that Xie Shu, a commoner, could fight against the Third Prince and Gu Zhong, and not only did he not lose the upper hand, but he could even turn the tables.

Lu Shuo said in a tone similar to an exclamation: "Junior brother, you really deserve to be the disciple chosen by the teacher!"

Then, Lu Shuo changed the subject: "Junior brother, you just said that you first met the Third Prince at a poetry gathering half a year ago. Even if you don't know the identity of the Third Prince and you displeased him for a while, based on my understanding of the Third Prince, he is not a fool. After learning that you have been accepted by the teacher, he will definitely recruit you.

And Junior Brother, if you had the energy you have now, you shouldn't have gotten into such a fight with him, right?"

Xie Shu's expression remained unchanged, and he said implicitly: "Brother, you don't know that the Third Prince did not use upright means, but there are some secrets in it. If it were me alone, it would be fine, but I am worried that his actions would implicate my family..."

When Lu Shuo heard this, his eyes flashed and he seemed to be thinking about something.

Xie Shu took a deep breath, bowed sincerely to Lu Shuo again and said: "Now, only Senior Brother can save my life. Xie Shu dare not ask Senior Brother for help out of consideration for our friendship. If I am lucky enough to serve Senior Brother in the future, I will definitely repay you."

At the end of his words, Xie Shu added: "If you have anything to ask, as long as it is in line with morality and does not disappoint my teacher, Xie Shu will never refuse."

When Lu Shuo heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

This time, Lu Shuo looked at Xie Shu with an even more strange look. This was the first person who asked him to do something, and yet he used such light words to evade him.

Not to mention that Xie Shu's status was very different from his, as a second-rank official, why did he need a white-clothed man to repay him? Besides, his subsequent words were somewhat inexplicably harsh to Lü Shuo.

However, Lu Shuo did not refuse, because he just needed this opportunity.

There was a hint of coldness in Lu Shuo's eyes. Emperor Qing was a suspicious person. If one wanted to be valued by him, he had to show enough loyalty.

Therefore, Lu Shuo cannot form a clique for personal gain, nor can he make friends with any prince. On the contrary, the colder his relationship with the princes is, the more Emperor Qing will trust him.

Emperor Qing placed him high up, a place that was the summit of thousands of people and also a place where fire burned his heart.

He is like trying to grab chestnuts from the fire. If he is not careful, he will fall into an irretrievable situation.

Therefore, the only thing he could do was to try to figure out the emperor's intentions and rely on his presence.

Lu Shuo was never afraid of other people's speculations, because what he wanted was that Emperor Qing would think so too.
