"You tell Xuanji that I'm a little unwell, forget about today's lunch, and I'll invite her and the Nine Emperor Princes to dinner when I'm well." In order to avoid the possibility of seeing Leng Fengran, Lan Ling'er opened her mouth to refuse Murong Xuanji's kindness.

"But today's lunch is all prepared by our young lady, if you don't go, the young lady will be very disappointed, and it will also waste a piece of his hard work." Hearing Lan Ling'er's refusal, Baoqing's face panicked, but he quickly calmed down and thought of various reasons in the hope that Lan Ling'er could agree.

"Baoqing, please say sorry to your young lady on my behalf." Although Lan Ling'er felt a little sorry for Murong Xuanji in her heart, she still refused ruthlessly.

Baoqing saw that Lan Ling'er was so resolute, and it was not good to continue to be reluctant, so he nodded and planned to go back and tell Murong Xuanji first, so that Murong Xuanji could think of a way again.

"Is Ling'er really so resolute that she refuses to come over for lunch?" Murong Xuanji didn't expect Lan Ling'er to refuse her, and looked at Xuanyuan Hao with some disappointment.

Xuanyuan Hao was also a little surprised that Lan Ling'er's heart was so firm this time, and he said helplessly: "It seems that your good intentions to help them create opportunities have failed." ”

Murong Xuanji asked Baoqing with some disdain, "What about Leng Fengran?" Have you asked? Won't he come? ”

Baoqing nodded: "Young Master Leng also refused." After a pause, he spoke again: "Young Master Leng also asked me to relay a sentence to Miss, so that Miss should stop worrying about him and Miss Lan." ”

"How could he say that?" Murong Xuanji said a little angrily, "Why is he so stubborn? No, I'm going to have to talk to him. Before the others could react, Murong Xuanji hurriedly ran out.

"Xuanji, Xuanji!" Xuanyuan Hao shouted a few times, but Murong Xuanji had already run away, so he had to shake his head helplessly, and let Murong Xuanji go to Leng Fengran.

"Leng Fengran, you come out for me." Murong Xuanji angrily pushed open the door of Leng Fengran's room, and saw Leng Fengran sitting at the desk looking at something, and immediately rushed to him.

"Xuanji, why are you here? Can I help you? Leng Fengran saw Murong Xuanji who suddenly appeared, with a somewhat menacing look, and stood up and looked at her in confusion.

"Let's talk!" Murong Xuanji called Leng Fengran from behind the desk, looked at him with a serious face and asked, "How can you be so hard-hearted?" Don't you give Ling'er a chance at all? What is wrong with Ling'er that makes you so disdainful? ”

"There's nothing bad about her, it's just that I don't like him, my heart has been given to another person, and I can't tolerate anyone else." Leng Fengran also replied to Murong Xuanji with a serious face.

"Enough!" Murong Xuanji looked at Leng Fengran angrily, "Even if you love me, I just treat you as a friend, I like that there is only one person I love, and he is the Nine Emperor Prince Xuanyuan Hao." ”

"Your love for the Nine Emperor Princes is your business, it has nothing to do with me, I like you as my business, it has nothing to do with you. So you don't always interfere with the people I like, it's my own business who I like, and no one else, including you, can influence my thoughts. Leng Fengran said very firmly: "Even if I don't like you, it doesn't mean that I have to like Lan Ling'er." ”

Leng Fengran's words made Murong Xuanji a little speechless, just when the atmosphere was so stiff, a strange noise outside the door broke the embarrassing atmosphere, and the two immediately ran out, and found Lan Ling'er standing there with a shocked face on her face.

"Ling'er!" Murong Xuanji looked at Lan Ling'er with some uneasiness, and from her expression, she could see that she seemed to have heard all the conversations between herself and Leng Fengran.

"I, I just saw you coming this way in the garden, intending to talk to you about lunch, I, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation." Lan Ling'er's mind was blank, she couldn't even speak in a panic, and when she saw Leng Fengran's indifferent eyes, she suddenly turned around and ran away.

"Ling'er, Ling'er." Murong Xuanji shouted a few times, but Lan Ling'er had already run away, she looked at Leng Fengran anxiously and asked, "What should I do?" Ling'er must have heard our conversation, and she must be very sad now. ”

The moment she saw Lan Ling'er turn around and leave just now, Leng Fengran saw the tears in her eyes, and her heart tingled slightly, but her face looked at the direction she ran away and said to Murong Xuanji: "This is not right, it makes her completely dead, there is no intersection between me and her, and the days have returned to the way they were before." ”

Murong Xuanji looked at Leng Fengran with both disappointment and some helplessness, if he really didn't have any feelings for Lan Ling'er, maybe what he did today was right, not giving Lan Ling'er a little possibility, and making her completely dead, but this kind of approach was really hard for Lan Ling'er.

"If it's just the result you want, then you succeeded, I think after today, Ling'er is completely dead, you can rest assured, Ling'er is also a girl with a lot of self-esteem, once she makes up her mind to give up, even if ten horses can't pull it back, you just wait to regret it." Murong Xuanji sighed heavily and turned away in disappointment.

Murong Xuanji immediately went to find Lan Ling'er after leaving the cold courtyard, but found that she had locked herself in the house alone.

"Ling'er, I'm Xuanji, do you want to open the door?" Murong Xuanji was worried that Lan Ling'er would do something stupid, so she kept banging on the door and shouting at her.

Lan Ling'er kept taking a deep breath in the room, trying to stop her tears, but the tears fell uncontrollably and desperately, Lan Ling'er used her hands to wipe her tears, but there were more and more tears, and finally she wiped her tears directly with her sleeve.

After a long time, Lan Ling'er's mood slowly calmed down, but she was not ready to face Murong Xuanji, she stood behind the door casually, and said across the door with Murong Xuanji: "Xuanji, you go back first, let me calm down alone, okay?" ”

"Ling'er, listen to my explanation." Finally waiting for the people in the room to respond, Murong Xuanji couldn't wait to shout.

"I can't listen to anything now, you can go first." After finishing speaking, Leng Ling'er walked towards the inner room, not wanting to listen to anything anymore.

Murong Xuanji stayed outside the door for a long time and said a lot, but the room fell into silence, Lan Ling'er didn't have any response, and finally Murong Xuanji temporarily gave up leaving first, planning to wait until Lan Ling'er's mood calmed down and then come to talk to her.

"Ling'er still hasn't opened the door? Didn't even eat dinner? Murong Xuanji asked Baoqing with a worried face, and her heart was so heavy that she couldn't even eat the dinner in front of her.

Baoqing shook his head and said, "Miss Lan didn't leave the room for a single step, I asked someone to bring dinner, but Miss Lan refused to open the door." ”

"Alas!" Murong Xuanji sighed heavily, and said with some self-reproach: "I originally wanted to persuade Leng Fengran, but I didn't expect Ling'er to hear our conversation and let her hear such hurtful words. ”

"Miss, it's not all your fault, you don't have to blame yourself so much." Baoqing comforted Murong Xuanji, "I think Miss Lan is just sad for a while and wants to calm down now, and when she calms down, she will understand Miss's hard work." ”

"Baoqing is right." At this moment, Xuanyuan Hao walked in, he had already heard about this before, and guessed that Murong Xuanji would definitely feel guilty about this matter, so he deliberately put down what he was doing and came over to comfort her.

"Husband." Seeing Xuanyuan Hao, Murong Xuanji stretched out her hand to him sadly and said, "I seem to have injured Ling'er even more." ”

"You should think about it from another angle, maybe Miss Lan still had a trace of expectation for Leng Fengran before, but isn't it a good thing that she can really let go this time?" Xuanyuan Hao hugged Murong Xuanji into his arms and said, "I think Leng Fengran's heart is not comfortable now, after all, he is not such a ruthless person. ”

"So what should I do now? I wanted to help them, but I didn't expect it to make things so bad. Murong Xuanji asked Xuanyuan Hao with a helpless expression, only Xuanyuan Hao could make her feel at ease at this time.

"You just don't do anything and let things take their course." Xuanyuan Hao said calmly: "Let them solve the matter of the two of them by themselves." ”

Murong Xuanji thought that he was originally kind today, but he didn't expect it to become like this, he just helped more and more, and now when he heard Xuanyuan Hao say this, he had to nod helplessly, "Okay, I know." ”

Seeing that Murong Xuanji had finally figured it out, Xuanyuan Hao also breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that the matter between Leng Fengran and Lan Ling'er could have a result as soon as possible, so that Murong Xuanji would not have to worry about the affairs of the two all day long.

Lan Ling'er leaned on the edge of the bed and sat for I don't know how long, the sky outside was dark, and the inside of the room was also dark. The indifferent and ruthless words that Leng Fengran had said came to her mind one by one. Every word of refusal slashed at Lan Ling'er's heart like a sharp knife, making her gradually lose consciousness in pain.

Lan Ling'er felt that she really couldn't stay and face Murong Xuanji, and she couldn't face Leng Fengran anymore. She used to think it would be awkward to meet, but now she just wants to disappear here as soon as possible.

Once she had such a thought in her mind, Lan Ling'er felt that she couldn't stay any longer, and immediately got up from the bed, her legs were numb because she hadn't walked for too long, so as soon as she stood up, her legs were sore, numb and weak, and she immediately fell to the ground, and the pain in her palms and knees made Lan Ling'er feel very aggrieved, and the tears that had stopped welled up again.

Lan Ling'er took a breath, stood up from the ground strongly, wiped away the tears on her face, and waited until the numbness in her legs disappeared before she limped to the table and lit the candle.
