Chen Qingmo coughed twice and replied hesitantly: "Then do you still like him now?"

Xu Yan paused while turning the lid of the cup, and after a while he replied: "To be honest, I don't know. The only thing I can be sure of is that I don't want to see him now."

Chen Qingmo didn't expect that this question would elicit such an answer, which was beyond his expectation. He looked at Xu Yan in front of him, with a hint of displeasure in his tone: "Is it just because he left you for six years that you changed your mind?

Really? Haha, people in the royal family are really ruthless."

Xu Yan did not rush to refute after hearing what he said. She looked up at Chen Qingmo, her clear eyes without any impurities, and her ethereal voice directly hit Chen Qingmo's most secret heart: "What about you? How good are you doing?

?Didn’t you fall in love with the chief minister’s second daughter right after Peng Xing left?”

When Chen Qingmo heard Xu Yan's question, he looked away in panic. He gathered the messy clothes on his body and replied: "Some things are not what you think. Besides, Peng Xing and I are just partners.

"Speaking of this, his heart suddenly felt stung. It's just that even he himself didn't believe his partner's nonsense, let alone such a shrewd Xu Yan?

Xu Yan had no intention of exposing him. Looking at Chen Qingmo's panicked behavior, she already got the answer. She picked up the tea cup in front of her and took a sip, hiding her bitter smile behind the tea cup. Now it seems that they are really like-minded.

.

Chen Qingmo had nothing else to say for a while. Through the window, he could see the dark night sky outside. There were no stars tonight, which was such a pity. He secretly moved his gaze back and fell on Xu Yan again. He asked softly

Said: "Then what are you going to do? Agree or not?"

Xu Yan stopped drinking tea, shook his head and said, "How could I know? If I already have the answer in my heart, why would I come here to look for you?"

Chen Qingmo thought of that person, and then looked at Xu Yan's current state. He understood that the success or failure of this matter might be tonight. But before that, he wanted to ask more gossips. After all, they, Qianji Pavilion, had information.

Organization, he did this for the better development of the organization! He swore that he was definitely not doing it to satisfy his own curiosity, huh!

Chen Qingmo rubbed his hands and asked, "Is the reason for your hesitation because of the sixth prince of Liang Kingdom?"

Xu Yan frowned when he heard what he said and said, "Why do you even say that? I only have mutual admiration for him between friends, but I don't have the charming feelings you imagined."

Chen Qingmo's expression almost had the words "I don't believe any of the nonsense you said" written on his face. He looked at Xu Yan and said: "Don't say it, I really don't believe it. Then Liang Guo

The sixth prince looks so good that he is a disaster for the country and the people. On the day he entered the capital, I also went to the city gate to see him. With that blink of an eye, he stole the hearts of many girls. If I were a woman, I would love him too." At this point, Chen Qingmo said

The tone of his voice suddenly rose, startling Xu Yan.

Xu Yan looked at him with a strange look in her eyes. She hesitated and said, "I didn't expect you to have this habit. Next time, you have to talk to Liang Yu and tell him to stay away from you."

Chen Qingmo rolled his eyes at Xu Yan, wrapped his clothes tighter and said, "I'm serious. If you are really interested in the sixth prince, I believe others will understand. Besides, with this marriage between you, the remaining

How can those countries be our opponents? We can annex them with three strikes, five divided by two, right?"

Xu Yan looked Chen Qingmo up and down until Chen Qingmo's whole body went crazy. He finally couldn't help but asked: "What do you think I am doing?"

Xu Yan shook his head and replied seriously: "I was wondering why you looked so smart, but what you said was so stupid? If our two countries were to marry, not to mention what the subjects of the two countries would think.

. Those small countries alone will probably unite to think of how to deal with us when we have this idea. How can we force them to a dead end by letting us join forces?"

Chen Qingmo became quiet. He took a sip of tea silently and felt that the reason why he asked such a stupid question today must be because he was suddenly woken up from his sleep. He sighed and said: "Then since you are right

He doesn’t mean it, why don’t you agree to that person’s request?”

Xu Yan heard his question, looked at his smooth jade hands, and felt disappointed: "Actually, he and I have known each other since we were young. But we didn't get along for long before we hastily confirmed each other's feelings.

It was as if I didn't even say "I like you", they just got together so naturally.

We parted ways after that. Without him saying a word, I just kept waiting for him to go down. In fact, the waiting time was very difficult at first, but later I got used to it. Sometimes I even felt that I was pretty good alone and didn’t need to at all.

He is by my side. Now that he is back, I think I should be happy. But the uncertainty about him for those six years and the uncertainty about his intentions prevent me from making such a hasty decision, do you understand?"

How could Chen Qingmo not understand? He just let go of the little girl he loved. He was afraid that she was just new to the world, just admired him, and was just familiar with the feeling of relying on him, so she said that she liked him so easily.

The two of them didn't speak for a while, and the air fell into silence again. Chen Qingmo looked at the hesitant Xu Yan in front of him, thinking about all the things the man had done for her behind the scenes in the past six years, and suddenly felt that Xu Yan was so lucky.

but.

Chen Qingmo picked up the teapot on the table and poured tea for Xu Yan: "You should already have the answer in your mind. Do you want to select your future emperor's husband in the draft? The recent top pick, Wen Liang?"

Xu Yan shook his head and said, "How is that possible?"

Chen Qingmo smiled and continued: "Then do you want to overcome all difficulties and marry the sixth prince of Liang Kingdom?"

Xu Yan rolled her eyes at him: "The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes."

Chen Qingmo raised his eyebrows and didn't care about Xu Yan's accusation against him: "Then you want to create a good story with Mr. Lu? There have been a lot of rumors about your scandal in the past few years."

Xu Yan almost splashed the water in her cup on Chen Qingmo's face with a trembling hand. She sternly said to Chen Qingmo: "How could you not know about the relationship between Peng Yue and him when you control Qianji Pavilion? Just forget about other people's nonsense.

Even you said these nonsense and unfounded things. If others heard it, you might not be able to arrange it for me!"

The smile on Chen Qingmo's lips deepened. He stared straight at Xu Yan and said: "Have you ever thought about the future with him? Do you want to be with him? The first person you see when you wake up every morning

The person will be him. He will prepare the official uniform for you to wear when you go to court, tie your hair into a bun, and smile gently to you and say that he will wait for you to go to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers together when you go to court...

..Have you ever thought about these?”

Xu Yan was deeply attracted by his words. She had almost entered the scene created by him. How could she not have thought about it? Every spring day in the past six years, she would think that when he came back, they would fly a kite together.

In every lonely New Year, she would want to wait for him to come back. She wanted to be the first person to say Happy New Year to him every year... She wanted to be by his side forever.

At this moment, Xu Yan suddenly understood something. What she had been unable to face for so long was the most insignificant part. What she could not accept the most was her growing possessiveness towards him.
