"good!"
Ying Wuji nodded. Although the explanation made sense, it seemed that his reputation was still ruined.
Hua Chao smiled and said, "Now that you have the business seal, your position in Gan and Li will be stable in the future. That's great!"
She was sincerely happy for Ying Wuji.
But she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. In fact, she had once fantasized that if Ying Wuji didn't make any progress, the two of them could set off together to serve as officials in Zhou Yuefu. With Ying Wuji's talent, even if they couldn't get real power, they could still live a good life in Zhou Wangji.
But then I thought again, this is a bit too selfish.
Besides, the young Taoist priest of the Han family had predicted that the era of great strife would come soon. It might be a few years, or it might be decades, but it would come eventually. He was a person who was unwilling to leave his fate to others. It was too cruel for him to make such a choice.
Seeing that she was a little depressed, Ying Wuji smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, Sister Hua Chao, I am very aggressive in business, and I will be able to gain a foothold in Li in a few years. Even if Zhou Wangji fails in the future, you can come back to me!"
"Um!"
Hua Chao smiled gently and patted Ying Wuji's shoulder: "It's getting late, go to bed!"
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.
"Sister Hua Chao, wait!"
Ying Wuji suddenly called her.
Hua Chao turned her head and looked at him with a hint of hope in her eyes.
Ying Wuji suddenly felt a little heartbroken and forced a smile: "Didn't you just ask why they were suddenly willing to give me the business seal? I was busy talking about the following things, so I didn't mention it!"
Hua Chao nodded: "Yeah!"
Ying Wuji took a deep breath, and when he spoke in his throat, he felt as if tiny thorns were piercing him: "I might be getting married soon."
"What?"
Hua Chao's heart trembled, and his eyes became distracted for a moment: "Why is it so sudden?"
Ying Wuji subconsciously shifted his gaze and said, "It can be considered a political marriage. Gan and Li are too chaotic. If not, I can't keep everything I have now."
He suddenly envied those scumbags. Why could they cheat on girl after girl without feeling heartbroken?
But he can't learn from the scumbag, because the heartache will not disappear, it will only be transferred from one person to another.
Hua Chao was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses. She pursed her lips and forced a smile on her face: "It's pretty good! Is she a princess? Does she like you?"
"Generally speaking, you don't dislike it, right?"
Ying Wuji thought of his good brother who was dressed as a man. She was ambitious but had a good personality. The two of them should be able to live a good life together, even if they didn't love each other particularly.
But……
He looked towards Hua Chao.
Hua Chao was also looking at him, but his expression was much more relaxed. He asked with a smile, "I should be the first person to know about this besides the Gan and Li royal families, right?"
Ying Wuji's voice was somewhat bitter: "Yeah!"
Hua Chao nodded: "Then you must be good to the princess, don't abandon her and break her heart. When we get married, I will give you a big red envelope! It's getting late, I'm going to bed first."
Having said that, he quickly left the study.
"Sister Hua Chao!"
Ying Wuji called out again, but in the end he still failed to stop her.
The night was still the same night, but it seemed much emptier.
He stood outside the door for a long time before slowly returning to the study. He wanted to write something else, but he just didn't feel like it.
Before saying this, he didn't know whether what he did was right or not, he just felt that he should do it.
After Hua Chao's response, he realized that what he did was generally right.
Because even just now, Hua Chao's first reaction was: Never abandon someone after having sex with them.
In an age of great contention, only the truly strong are qualified to live as idle wanderers.
However, the path she chose was destined to fail to give Hua Chao what she wanted, and even stimulate the devil in her heart.
But why does my heart still hurt so much even though I did the right thing?
…
In the next few days, everything was normal at Shangmo Bookstore.
The dirty announcer has been assigned to Tie Niu, and contributes a skill to Ying Wuji almost every hour.
Hua Chao would be at the opera troupe during the day, rehearsing with the actors, and would return to the bookstore to check the accounts at night. When she met Ying Wuji, everything was normal. She was even nicer to Ying Wuji, but this kind of kindness was more like that of a sister to her younger brother.
Wu Dan comes to the bookstore every day to show Ying Wuji his new inventions. Ever since he was hurt in love, this guy seems to have been reborn and is obsessed with inventing things every day.
In fact, Ying Wuji also wanted to discuss inventions with him, but he really wasn't in the mood during this period.
On the one hand, there is the aftermath of confessing to Hua Chao, and I feel like I have lost something every day.
on the other hand……
There has been no news from the Lebanese royal family.
The Hundred Schools Festival is only twelve days away from the Literary Meeting, but five days have already passed.
All the products for his industry were ready, and he was just waiting to advertise them on the day when the Hundred Festival officially started. However, there was no response from the royal family of Lebanon.
Are you kidding me?
Could it be that he has changed his mind?
Ying Wuji was a little panicked. Theoretically, the royal family of Li had no reason to change their mind, because he was of great value to them, not only in terms of commercial value, but also in terms of military value.
Although no one knows when the "era of great strife" that Han Juan mentioned will come, one thing is certain: as soon as the era of great strife arrives, given the current national conditions of the State of Li, it will inevitably fall into civil strife.
