Chapter 265: Weakness of Heart
Where did Ye Qinglan still have the leisure to take care of his mood at this time.
Men and women are alone in the same room, and there is nothing to do in modern times. But at this time, it is a great event. It would be bad if someone found out. I hope it's Gu Xiyu who knocks on the door.
"Is it Cousin Xiyu?" Ye Qinglan's voice unconsciously brought a little nervousness.
There was silence outside the door for a moment, and then a familiar voice sounded: "It's me." β
Ye Qinglan's face changed. This voice is crisp and beautiful, very familiar, but it is not Gu Xiyu.
It turned out to be Ye Qingning! How did she get here? If she found herself alone with Gu Xinian, she wouldn't be able to tell clearly, even if she had a long mouth.
What now? The door must not be opened, what reason do you want to find to fool Ye Qingning away?
Ye Qinglan's mind was racing, and she couldn't think of any good ideas for a while. Ye Qingning, who was outside the door, opened his mouth again: "Tenth sister, what are you doing inside, why don't you open the door?" β
Ye Qinglan coughed and stubbornly: "Sixth sister, I was taking a nap just now and was getting dressed, can you come back later?" As he spoke, he deliberately tidied up his clothes and made some noise. secretly prayed in his heart that Ye Qingning would leave quickly.
The corners of Gu Xinian's lips were hooked, and a smile flashed in his eyes. This girl, with a belly of ghost ideas, doesn't even blink an eye when she lies.
Ye Qingning outside the door was silent for a moment, but this short moment made Ye Qinglan inexplicably nervous. A heart almost reaches the throat.
"Then you get dressed quickly, and I'll come back to you later." Ye Qingning, who was outside the door, finally reacted, but his tone was a little strange.
Ye Qinglan was still in the mood to care about what Ye Qingning was thinking at this time, just begging her to leave quickly, oh thank God. It was only after hearing the footsteps outside the door that it faded away, and then he let out a long sigh of relief. Then he hurriedly urged Gu Xinian: "You hurry up, the sixth sister will be here again later." β
Gu Xinian was a little dissatisfied with her attitude, and glanced at her lightly: "What if you come?" "Is it humiliating to be alone with him?
Ye Qinglan just wanted to coax him away as soon as possible. patiently explained: "It's always bad to teach and receive privately, if I was discovered by the sixth sister early, how would I be in the house?" If you really have this heart, you should first ask for the consent of your family, and then come to the door to propose marriage in the future. When the time comes, no one will dare to say half a word. What's going on now? β
To put it mildly, the people of the Wanguo Mansion and the honorable Empress Gu did not agree, and the two of them would definitely break up. He doesn't care, she can't ruin her reputation, and she will have to marry someone in the future!
Of course. These words must never be spoken. Don't look at the man in front of you with a calm and indifferent face, in fact, the heart and eyes are smaller than the tip of a needle. If he knew that he was thinking about this, it would be strange that there would be smoke above his head.
Gu Xinian glanced at her deeply. A string of complicated feelings flashed in his eyes, but in the end, he didn't say anything, just said lightly: "Okay, then I'll go." β
Ye Qinglan was so moved that she almost burst into tears, and hurriedly opened the door bolt quietly. Then he poked his head out and glanced at it quickly. Empty, great!
Ye Qinglan glanced at Gu Xinian. Why don't you sneak out quietly at this time?
Gu Xinian understood the hint in her eyes, resisted the urge to snort, and walked out without hurrying. When he walked out of the door, he stopped again and glanced back at Ye Qinglan.
Ye Qinglan immediately put on a smiling face. Shui Yingying's big eyes clearly wrote, "Let's go, let's go, please go"! Not even half a point reluctant.
Gu Xinian pursed the corners of his lips and left with some dissatisfaction.
When Gu Xinian's figure finally disappeared in front of him, Ye Qinglan was completely relieved. He closed the door again and sat in his chair in a daze.
The chair was the one Gu Xinian had sat on before, and it was still a little warm.
Recalling the previous scenes, it was like a dream, and there was no sense of reality.
Ye Qinglan unconsciously clenched the purse in her hand. The hard round jade pendant inside is a little awkward. There is still some hot on the lips, this qiΔ. are all suing sΓΉ her, and a qiΔ is true.
She originally planned to take this opportunity to have a showdown with Gu Xinian, forcing him to nod and promise never to see her again in the future...... But why did it turn out to be the way it is? Could it be that he really plans to come to the door to propose marriage in the future? When I thought that I might stay with Gu Xinian for the rest of my life, why was the first feeling in my heart not joy but awkwardness?
What a mess!
It's all my own fault that I came up with such a bad idea. If you don't break this layer of window paper, and continue to pretend to be stupid and hide when you see him, maybe the undeserved feelings will soon dissipate. It's good now, admitting that you have a good impression of him, and you are simply sending your weakness to the enemy......
Ye Qinglan let out a long sigh with a sad expression. What's next? Is it okay to say that you regret it next time we meet?
The sudden knock on the door interrupted Ye Qinglan's thoughts.
Ye Qinglan calmed down, stepped forward and opened the door. Gu Xiyu's smiling pretty face appeared in front of her: "Cousin Lan, big brother ......"
Ye Qinglan coughed and took over the conversation: "Where did you go just now, I searched everywhere and didn't find you." Bian Chong Gu Xiyu winked. I'll talk about it when I have something to say!
Gu Xiyu finally got clever, obediently closed her mouth and entered the house. After closing the door, he asked curiously, "Is the eldest brother gone?" What the hell did you talk about with him, didn't you quarrel today! β
Ye Qinglan had a rare hint of weakness: "He has already left, don't worry, I didn't quarrel with him." However, she really would rather the two of them have a big quarrel than the embarrassing situation like this now!
Although Gu Xiyu was curious, she also remembered what Ye Qinglan had told before, so she didn't ask more.
Ye Qinglan thought for a while, and whispered: "Cousin Xiyu, the sixth sister will come later, if you ask where you went, you didn't say anything." Don't let her know that Cousin Gu has been here. β
Gu Xiyu was stunned for a moment, and asked reflexively, "Why can't you let her know?" β
Ye Qinglan's face did not change her face and nonsense: "You also know that it is always bad for men and women to meet in private, although Cousin Gu and I are frank, but we also have to worry about others being too careful." Therefore, this must not be known to others. β
Gu Xiyu nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, I will never sue anyone." β
Sure enough, it's a good boy. Ye Qinglan patted Gu Xiyu's hand with a smile, and was very relieved.
It's strange to say that Ye Qingning hasn't come over since then. When it was time to go to the Plum Courtyard for dinner in the evening, Shanshan appeared. never mentioned the previous incident, and laughed with Ye Qinglan as if nothing happened.
Ye Qinglan was already weak-hearted, wishing that Ye Qingning would not ask, so she cooperated and chatted a few words.
As soon as she entered Luomei Courtyard, Cui Wan looked over with a smile: "Tenth sister, why haven't you been seen for an afternoon?" β
Ye Qinglan replied casually: "I probably didn't sleep well last night, so I went back to sleep after lunch." β
Cui Wan didn't doubt him, so she didn't ask, but kept looking at Ye Qinglan, obviously having something to say, but it was inconvenient for everyone to say it.
Ye Qinglan's heart moved secretly, but her face remained silent. Taking advantage of the gap when everyone moved to the dining room, he quickly came to Cui Wan's side and asked in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, do you have something to say to me?" β
Cui Wan hummed and replied in a low voice: "It's inconvenient to speak at this time, you come to Qinfangyuan tomorrow, and I'll tell you carefully." β
Ye Qinglan responded in a low voice, adding another layer of concern to her heart.
In the evening, after bathing, Ye Qinglan and Gu Xiyu sat side by side on the bed and chatted. Gu Xiyu also seemed to have something on her mind, and she said a few words casually and was in a daze.
Ye Qinglan was actually full of chaotic thoughts, but seeing Gu Xiyu's appearance, she couldn't rest assured, and hurriedly asked, "Why don't you speak?" What are you thinking? β
Gu Xiyu was silent for a moment, and said sullenly: "I miss him a little." β
Ye Qinglan was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, Gu Xiyu said that he was Shen Chang'an, who had been away for a long time.
Gu Xiyu really grew up and began to have the mind of a girl, which is really gratifying. But when she thought of what Gu Xinian had said about Shen Changan, Ye Qinglan hesitated a little. Is it to follow her words and explain a few words, or take the opportunity to persuade her to forget Shen Changan?
Gu Xiyu put her hands around her knees, her small chin resting on her knees, and her long black hair hanging down on her chest, making it difficult to see what her face was. But there was a little melancholy in his voice: "He has been gone for so long, and there has been no news, I don't know how it is now?" β
Ye Qinglan thought about it, and finally decided to comfort her a few words: "He is far away in Shandong, and he is going to suppress bandits, he must be very busy, where can he have time to send the letter back." β
Besides, even if the letter is sent to the Dingguo Mansion, it probably won't reach Gu Xiyu's hands. Whether it is Mrs. Zheng or Gu Xinian, they don't have a good impression of Shen Changan. It's strange not to intercept letters halfway.
Gu Xiyu snorted and stopped talking.
Ye Qinglan casually opened the topic: "By the way, during the Chinese New Year, did Concubine Shen go to the Dingguo Mansion?" When I finished asking, I was annoyed to find out what I had asked.
Why did you suddenly ask about Shen Qiuyu? Whether she goes to the Dingguo Mansion or not, it has nothing to do with her half a dime!
Gu Xiyu was not suspicious, and replied not very happily: "I went, I went with the prince's cousin." β
I actually went......
Ye Qinglan couldn't tell for a moment what the complicated taste was in her heart at this time. In short, it's completely different from the mood of watching the excitement before.
was on the outside, and the love-hate entanglement between Gu Xinian and Shen Qiuyu had nothing to do with her at all. She is happy to watch the excitement, and she is happy to speculate on the complicated feelings of Gu Xinian and Shen Qiuyu, the old lover. Can ...... now
As soon as I heard that the two of them met again, I always felt a little uncomfortable in my heart.
