Three hundred and eighty-three chapters clear
Chen Qingmo coughed twice and replied hesitantly: "Then do you still like him now?"
Xu Yan paused with 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 lead to such an answer, which was beyond his expectations. He looked at Xu Yan in front of him and his tone was a little displeasure: "Is it just because he left you for six years that you changed your mind? Haha, the people in the royal family are indeed heartless."
After hearing his words, Xu Yan did not rush to refute. She looked up at Chen Qingmo, with no impurities in her eyes. Her ethereal voice hit Chen Qingmo's most secret heart: "What about you? How good are you doing? As soon as Peng Xing left, you cling to the second daughter of the Prime Minister?"
Chen Qingmo panickedly when he heard Xu Yan's question. He closed his messy clothes and replied, "Some things are not what you think. Besides, my relationship with Peng Xing is just a partner." Speaking of this, his heart suddenly hurt. It was just that his partner's nonsense, even he himself didn't believe it, let alone Xu Yan, who was so smart?
Xu Yan had no intention of exposing him. Looking at Chen Qingmo's panicked behavior, she had already got the answer. She picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip, covering all her wry smiles behind the teacup. Now it seems that they are really fellows.
Chen Qingmo had nothing else to say for a moment. Through the window, he could see the dark night sky outside. It was a pity that Wuxing tonight. He secretly turned back his gaze and landed on Xu Yan again. He asked softly: "What are you going to do? Should you agree or not?"
Xu Yan's tea-drinking movement stopped, shook his head and said, "How could I know? If I had the answer in my heart, why should I come and look for you?"
Chen Qingmo thought of that person and looked at Xu Yan's current state. He understood that the success and failure of this matter might be tonight. But before that, he wanted to ask more gossip. After all, their Qianji Pavilion is an intelligence organization, and he did this to better develop the organization! He swears that he was definitely not to satisfy his curiosity, well!
Chen Qingmo rubbed his hands and asked, "Is the reason for your hesitation because of the sixth prince of Liang State?"
Xu Yan frowned when she heard him and said, "Why do you say that? I just admire him with friends, but I don't have the charming feelings you imagine."
Chen Qingmo's expression almost almost wrote the words "I don't believe what you said at all" on his face. He looked at Xu Yan and said, "Don't say it, I really don't believe it. The Sixth Prince of Liang looked so good that he was a disaster for the country and the people. On the day he entered Beijing, I also went to the city gate to see it. In that blink of an eye, he caught the hearts of many girls. If I were a woman, I would love him." At this point, Chen Qingmo's tone suddenly rose, which scared Xu Yan.
Xu Yan looked at him with a strange look. She said hesitantly: "I didn't expect you to have this habit. Next time I have to talk to Liang Yu and let him stay away from you."
Chen Qingmo gave Xu Yan a blank look, wrapped her clothes tighter and said, "I'm serious. If you really have something to do with the Sixth Prince, I believe others can understand it. Besides, in your marriage, those remaining countries are not our opponents. You can annex them in just a few seconds, right?"
Xu Yan looked up and down Chen Qingmo and made Chen Qingmo furrow all over his body. He finally couldn't help but ask, "What do you think I'm doing?"
Xu Yan shook his head and replied seriously: "I'm thinking that you look very smart, but why do you say so stupid? If our two countries are in marriage, what will the subjects of the two countries think. Those small countries alone will probably unite to deal with us when we have this idea. How can we join forces to force them into a dead end?"
Chen Qingmo calmed down. He took a sip of tea silently, thinking that the reason he said such a stupid question today must be because he was suddenly awakened from his sleep. He sighed and said, "Since you have no intention of him, why don't you agree with that person's request?"
When Xu Yan heard his question, he looked at his jade-like hands and said with a loss of grief: "Actually, I knew him when he was young. But we didn't have long been together and we had no time to confirm each other's relationship. It seemed that even if I didn't even say I like you, I was together so naturally.
After that, the separation was the same. Without a word from him, I just waited for him to continue like that. In fact, the waiting time would be very difficult at first, but I got used to it later. Sometimes I even felt that I was a good person like this and didn’t need him by my side at all. Now that he is back, I think I should be happy. But I understand that my uncertainty over the past six years and my uncertainty about his intentions made me unable to make such hasty decisions?”
How could Chen Qingmo not understand? He let go of the little girl he loved. He was afraid that she was just not very experienced in the world, just admired him, and was familiar with the feeling of relying on him, so he easily said what he liked him.
The two of them didn't say anything for a moment, and the air fell into silence again. Chen Qingmo looked at Xu Yan who was wandering in front of him, and thought about the things he had done for her in the past six years, and suddenly felt that Xu Yan was so lucky.
Chen Qingmo picked up the teapot on the table and poured tea for Xu Yan: "You must have had an answer in your heart. Do you want to choose your future royal husband in the talent show? The new top scorer Wen Liang recently?"
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?"
Xu Yan gave him a blank look: "The more you talk, the more outrageous it becomes."
Chen Qingmo raised his eyebrows, not caring about Xu Yan's blame for him: "Then do you want to create a good story with that Lord Lu? The scandals about you have been circulating in recent years."
Xu Yan almost shook his hand and poured the water in his cup on Chen Qingmo's face. She said to Chen Qingmo sternly: "How can you not know the relationship between Peng Yue and him when you control the news of Qianji Pavilion? Even if others say nonsense, even you say these unfounded words. If others hear it, they may not be able to arrange me!"
Chen Qingmo's smile on his lips became deeper. He stared at Xu Yan and said, "Have you ever thought about your future with him? Do you want to be with him? The first person you wake up every day when you go to court will be him. He will prepare the official uniforms you wear when you go to court, tie your hair bun for you, and smile gently at you and say that you will go to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers together... Have you ever thought about these?"
Xu Yan was deeply attracted by his words, and 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 want to wait for him to come back and they would fly kites together. On every lonely festival, 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 could not face for so long was the most insignificant part. What she couldn't accept the most was her growing possessiveness for him.
