Chapter 160: What If
In the night, Lin Yuan couldn't see Ji Zongyu's expression clearly, but she clearly knew that the other party's face was darkened because of her own problem.
"If it's inconvenient, don't say it." She added hurriedly.
Ji Zongyu was stunned, and then said with some difficulty, "It's not inconvenient, but ...... I want to say sorry to you, Bai Xian was provoked by me. β
Lin Yuan lowered his face, and said faintly after a while, "You are the one who withdrew for me." β
As soon as the words came out, Lin Yuan herself was shocked, she felt that her heart was about to pop out, and Ji Zongyu was also silent.
The awkward atmosphere was already flowing between the two, and at this time it added a bit of ambiguity, which caught the two off guard.
"I ......"
"You ......"
"You speak first."
"You speak first."
"Lin Xiaosi, listen to me first."
Ji Zongyu smiled as brightly as usual, even in the dark night, Lin Yuan could feel it, and the only trace of embarrassment was swept away in an instant.
"It's not all because of you, I really don't have any love for Siqi." Ji Zongyu's eyes burned, "Besides, I don't want to see Siqi embarrass you with her identity." After a pause, his tone was a little frustrated, "It's just that I was wrong from the beginning, my mother said that even if Siqi is no longer my fiancΓ©e, she will also embarrass you, and I quit my marriage, she may even get worse......"
"No, it's not possible...... This Nine Dragons and Nine Phoenix Crowns was poked out by King Pingbei...... I'm here to warn you. β
He said apologetically, "I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble, I know you hate trouble, but I really wanted to solve it......"
Ji Zongyu stopped talking, his eyes were full of guilt but vague expectation.
However, Lin Yuan only felt that her face was hot, and she even wanted to avoid it quickly, she had the illusion of secretly falling in love with her teachers and parents behind her back in her previous life, which made her feel like she had made a mistake.
"It doesn't matter, I haven't done anything bad inside or out, and no one can embarrass me." Half a sound, she squeezed out a sentence in Ji Zongyu's persecutive gaze, and then she wanted to dodge, "I've been out for a while, I should go back." β
Before Lin Yuan finished speaking, she lifted the corner of her skirt and wanted to run away.
But it was Ji Zongyu who grabbed her, "You have to put away the jade pendant I gave you, as well as the cat, and the things I will give you in the future, you have to put them all away, you know?" β
Lin Yuan didn't want to answer such a simple question, she subconsciously moved her arm, but she couldn't pull it away because she was holding it too tightly.
"It's time for me to go back." She couldn't speak.
"If I find out in the future that you have lost what I sent, I will definitely trouble you." Ji Zongyu replied with a smile on his face, and after speaking, he let go, "Go back, lest Bai Xian be suspicious, his person is very deep in the city, and he knows my itinerary, I'm afraid I will be suspicious, you be careful, stay away from him." β
Lin Yuan was free, and ran away without saying a word.
The smile on Ji Zongyu's face that was left behind was even stronger.
Until she returned to the dinner table, Lin Yuan still felt that her heart was pounding.
"Fourth sister, why did you go for so long? But got a stomach problem? Lin Yan deliberately raised her voice and asked.
Lin Yuan was uneasy, ignored it, and only picked up the tea bowl in front of him and poured a sip of tea.
"Fourth sister, why don't you ignore people?" Lin Yan covered the corners of her mouth and smiled, "What? Don't like my sister? β
Lin Yuan's face turned cold, and she was in no mood to tease Lin Yuan anymore.
"Grandmother, why do you see the fourth sister looking at me like this?" Lin Yan said with an exaggerated look of horror.
Lin Yuan frowned, and looked at Lin Yan with disgust, if she could, she really wanted to stuff all the food on the table into Lin Yuan's mouth, so that the other party would be speechless.
The old lady was blocked by Lin Yuan before, but at this time, Lin Yuan gave a good excuse, and she didn't take the opportunity to attack? At that moment, she sank her face and wanted to reprimand, but Ye suddenly stood up from the stool.
"Old lady, I'm feeling a little unwell and want to go back to rest." Ye Shi said softly to the old lady.
The old lady's face was cold, and she refused, "Why are you expensive?" β
Ye Shi was neither humble nor arrogant, "The doctor said that I can't sit for a long time, otherwise I will fall ill." β
The old lady suddenly turned stunned when she heard this, but she had nothing to refute. Everyone knows that Ye's miscarriage is because of Cuiyun, whether Cuiyun admits it or not, then the musk is on Cuiyun. And Cuiyun was personally sent to Tianjiao Courtyard by the old lady, so the old lady should also be responsible. At this time, if she refuses to go back to rest for the Ye family, isn't she telling others that she is going to harm the Ye family?
The old lady was overwhelmed and couldn't answer.
Ye Shi is not used to being aggressive, and it is a blessing, so he called Lin Yuan, "Yuanyuan, help me go back." β
Lin Yuan got up and answered Ye's words, and then the mother and daughter left the table smoothly.
At night, Lin Yuan had insomnia, and she couldn't sleep because she had long been used to going to bed early and getting up early.
She simply approved a coat and sat against the window.
"Miss, it's all over, you still haven't slept yet?" Xianghe poked her head out of the house.
Lin Yuan turned her head and smiled, "I heard movement outside, but my father is back?" β
Xianghe nodded, "It's the master, the master was drunk and was helped back by the maid." β
"Oh." Lin Yuan replied casually.
Xianghe waited for a while, but didn't see Lin Yuan's following, so she couldn't help but open the curtain and walked in, "Miss, do you have something on your mind?" β
Lin Yuan bowed his head slightly, but shook his head violently again.
Xianghe chuckled in her heart and asked cautiously, "Miss, what did you do at dinner?" β
Lin Yuan was stunned and asked, "Why do you ask that?" β
"Xianglan said, she said that you went out alone, and when you came back, you looked weird, I don't know what's wrong." After a pause, she was a little worried, "Miss, didn't you say that you will break up until the Chinese New Year?" Don't do anything stupid. β
Lin Yuan laughed, "No, I didn't do anything. β
"And what about you?"
Lin Yuan was silent, raised her head at Xianghe and asked seriously, "Xianghe, what do ordinary women marry?" Is it true that you got married at the age of fifteen? β
Xianghe was dumbfounded by the question, but seeing Lin Yuan's serious face, she replied, "Most of the time, but it doesn't have to wait until the end of the day, some families can't afford to support them, and there are also daughters who get married when they are eight or nine years old, Miss, what are you asking for?" β
Lin Yuan shook his head and didn't answer, but asked again, "When can we talk...... No, it's a marriage? β
"You can marry at any time, and there are many people who are married by fingertips." Xiang Helisuo replied, paused, she suddenly realized but her face was different, "Miss, don't forget that the young master has a marriage contract." β
"And what if he doesn't have a marriage contract?"
