Yun Qing sighed, retracted his gaze, stretched out his hand to stroke his wedding dress, and said, "Brother Zimo, how can you be the sour and rotten person in your mouth?" If so, you're underestimating your own vision! For so many years, this is the only man you who makes you miss your heart and have trouble sleeping, she is worthy of your affection for him. ”

Yes, he is worth it, he is a scholar, and he has also been in and out of the three armies, when the text was unjustly convicted, he survived, he can be called a successful person, how can I doubt him? Doubt yourself? Doubt the future of both of them.

No matter what, you have to work hard and don't leave yourself with regrets.

"Girl, Tao Gongzi asks to see." Yilan came over with a plate of dim sum and informed Tao Zimo of the news of his visit, and wondered as he walked: "Girl, you said that this Tao Gongzi is really strange, he didn't enter the house when he came, he only let people pass the word, saying that he couldn't come in, the girl has a lot of things recently, so don't add trouble to the girl." ”

Saying that, Yilan smiled: "You said that you didn't add trouble, why did you come here, if you didn't come in, what did you let people pass on, what a weird person, no wonder I got the top prize, I heard that this talented person thinks differently from us normal people!" ”
