Indeed, not only this guess, but even inadvertently recalling Pei Yuanhao's approach, he would definitely confirm Pei Yuanhao's approach. After all, this is not only a matter of recognition between father and daughter, but also a matter of separation from their children to return to their ancestors, which is related to the decency and face of the royal family.

But he didn't.

Even this time he would invite Li Er to cross the river and travel with him to Yangzhou. In the evening, he sent her back and asked if we could invite her to cross the river tomorrow. These actions were completely different from what Pei Yuanhao, the noble Supreme Master, would do.

Really - strange.

There was a teacup in front of him and I. The slight smoke rising from the cup gradually faded away, and it spread into a faint mist in each other's eyes. It was almost invisible, but it blurred each other's vision.

He said, "Would you like to let Li'er see him?"

"I do."

“…”

He might have expected that I would agree, or guessed that I would not agree, because no matter what, the answers were all but these two answers, and each of them had their own reasons, but no matter how they prepared, he probably wouldn't have thought that I would give the answer so quickly. He was a little stunned for a moment, and then he said "ah" in a daze.

I repeated: "I do, I do want Li'er to get together with him again."

“…”

He was silent for a moment, hesitating: "Why?"

"Save others by yourself." I answered these four words calmly.

This time, he seemed to understand quickly, and was silent for a moment, then nodded gently: "I understand."

"Now, his mood is the same as when I came here and was so eager to see Li'er. At this point, I can still fully understand his feelings." I said, lowered my eyelashes and whispered: "No matter what happened between me and him, the child is innocent. No matter whether she knows it or not, no matter what will happen in the future, she has the right to enjoy fatherly love, and will not let her suffer or regret in the future. As for--, he is Li'er's biological father after all. He wants to meet Li'er, want to make up for the love he has lacked over the years, and wants to love his daughter. I can understand all these."

“…”

"So, I have no way to refuse."

Pei Yuanxiu nodded gently.

He said: "Although I don't have children yet, after all, after Li'er has been by my side for so many years, I can understand the feelings of a father."

“…”

I was caught off guard and changed my face the moment I heard this.

He has no children yet...

Yes, he doesn't have children yet...

As a brother, Pei Yuanhao has both children, but until now, he has not had a biological child to live with. This is not just a regret, but a shortcoming for him.

I looked up at him, and as my dark eyes shone under the reflection of the candlestick on the table, the light that seemed to be stabbed, and seemed to have been stabbed. I was a little confused for a moment, so I could only turn my face silently and avoid his gaze.

Pei Yuanxiu also fell silent.

Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere gradually became a little awkward, especially the restless candlelight made everything in the room sway, dark and difficult to see, as if the thoughts and swaying moods in the two of them were reflected in the gray walls around them at a glance.

After a long silence, Pei Yuanxiu still said, "But, do you have to experience it again?"

"……What?"

"I saw you on the dock today, in great pain." He looked at me, and although the candlelight was reflected, his eyes were as gentle as water: "You must be very worried that he would take Li'er away, right?"

"Um."

"Then you still want-"

"But no matter what, I can't refuse and not let them reunite with their father and daughter."

"So, you'd rather fall into that pain and suffering yourself?"

I smiled a little awkwardly: "There is nothing perfect in this world."

He looked at me and said, "You can't agree."

I bit my lower lip and shook my head gently: "In that case, I will not suffer, and I will not suffer anymore, but I will still feel at ease in my conscience."

Speaking of this, I smiled faintly: "Things in the world are never perfect."

“…”

“To get it, you must pay.”

“…”

"This is not grievance or pain, this is the most basic fairness."

“…”

"Just see which end you choose."

After saying that, I smiled again.

Looking at my smile, he seemed a little heavy. He didn't say anything anymore. He just slowly frowned at this moment, and under the swaying light and shadow, several faint wrinkles appeared.

I looked at him and asked softly, "Then tomorrow, I will--"

"Tomorrow, I'll go with you."

I glanced at him and said softly: "Thank you."

He turned to look at me, paused, and said, "Are we going to say this word?"

"..." I smiled, with a hint of sourness in my smile, but it was not too embarrassing. But after a moment of silence, I said softly: "I said this word not to be apart from you, but I suddenly remembered something."

"What's up?"

"I thought about the years he was absent, and I was actually absent." I looked up at him: "You have always been by Li'er, and Miss Ruoshi, but I really didn't say thank you seriously."

When he mentioned "Ruoshi", his face slightly sank.

Then, the two of them suddenly had nothing to say.

The room was very warm, or in the hotter weather, the night became hotter and hotter. With a candlelight in this way, the two people's breathing at a close distance seemed particularly hot.

I forced a smile and said, "It's late at night, you can rest early."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! He raised his head to look at me, and after I finished speaking, he stood up on the edge of the table, turned around and walked towards the door.

"Qingying!"

But just as I reached out to touch the door frame, the almost hot arms behind me suddenly reached over, as hot and powerful as iron pliers, and suddenly grabbed the wrist that was hanging beside me.

I was burned by that force and temperature, and trembled slightly, and froze there.

The hands slowly used force and slowly gathered together, and his hot and solid chest was pressed up. Although he was just standing close to me, he felt an illusion that he was trapped in his arms and was hugged tightly, especially when his breath blew across my ears and neck, the feeling was even stronger.

I stood there, not leaving, nor looking back.

Then, his voice rang behind him—

"I know, you've always been concerned about Ruoshi in your heart - you've been minding her, right?"

“…”

"I admit that before you come to Jinling, it was me and her who were with Li'er."

“…”

"And it's her who is by my side."

“…”

His words are very simple, especially the last sentence, just a few words, but I seem to have fully realized his and her years. Yes, my previous guess is not wrong, and it is not even a conjecture, but an inevitable faita fact-there is a past between him and her. The words that Li Er said that he and her are actually all belong to him and her, and they all remember them.

After hearing this, I finally turned around slowly, looking at his face that looked a little dim under the dark candlelight, and the hand he held in his palm also trembled slightly.

Feeling my trembling, his hands tighter.

He said: "She is the daughter of Jiangxia who is gradually disappearing from the family. I am the former prince who is in a predicament. At that time, she and I could only rely on each other and support each other, so that I could persevere."

I opened my lips lightly, as if I wanted to say something, but my thin and cold lips were trembling, but I couldn't say a word after all.

The daughter of Jiangxia who is gradually disappearing...

The former prince whose situation is hopeless...

In fact, this is a meeting of golden wind and jade dew? Compared to the meeting of talented men and beautiful women in the plays, the meeting with her on pavilions is more like a good show that God deliberately arranged, which is enough to shock everyone in the world.

At this moment, all the thoughts in my heart were buried in the calm and flickering eyes. Pei Yuanxiu looked into my eyes and continued, "You can also see that her body is very weak. In fact, when we arrived in Jinling, she was almost out of reach."

I asked hurriedly, "Then she--"

Pei Yuanxiu was silent for a moment before saying, "Old Yao."

"..." I smiled subconsciously.

By the way, Yao Lao.

This wonderful man who even said that his bones and blood were all over his body, and Han Ruoshi could certainly turn danger into safety if he took action.

So—I said softly: "That's how you know each other, are you?"

He nodded.

I nodded, too.

Then he asked, "Then, what Li'er said - when did the last time mean, and what happened?"

Pei Yuanxiu seemed to have expected that I would ask this question, so as soon as I finished speaking, he immediately said: "That happened a few years ago. At that time, Li'er was still young, but maybe she was frightened by that time, so she still remembered this incident for so many years."

I looked at him quietly and waited for his answer.

Pei Yuanxiu's face, which was originally a little dim in the dark light, became more and more quiet at this time. After a while of silence, he said: "Ruoshi, she was born with inadequate symptoms. Yao Lao said that she could not last long because of her condition at that time, but fortunately we took action and she survived."

I suddenly said, "She must be very grateful to you."

He glanced at me and didn't answer this, but his eyes had already made accusation.

Then, he continued, "However, although Yao Lao saved her, because she was really deficient in her innate condition, she was not out of danger for a long time. She relied on Yao Lao's injection of acupuncture and decoctions to maintain it, and then recuperate, so that her body would slowly get better."

I nodded.

"At that time, she had been recuperating for a long time and had almost recovered from health. Yao Lao had not given her acupuncture for a long time, and only used decoctions to recuperate, and there was no problem at all. So everyone believed that she herself believed that she was completely cured."
