Chapter 218: Refusal
Lin Yan looked at Ning Le and was very surprised.
Although she is simple, not good at scheming, and occasionally a little weak, but this does not mean that she is stupid, a young man asked a woman who was out of marriage, "Would you like to remarry", and it was still on the occasion of only two people, and it was in such a sensitive period when Liang Min suddenly appeared, it was not that she was narcissistic, but the scene in front of her made her have to think more, could it be that the man in front of him, who was already weak and should talk about marriage, repeatedly refused to propose marriage to matchmakers, is it because his mind is on himself?
"I ......" she didn't know what to say, it was a very surprised and panicked expression, she smiled stiffly, said a word, but did not know how to continue, a heart beat so hard that even her fingertips were trembling violently.
Although Ning Le tried his best to show the calmness and domineering that a mature man should have, he was not that type of person, and after calmly saying the question, his face began to turn crimson, and his eyes flashed.
Both of them felt embarrassed, but they all sat with their eyes lowered when they faced each other, and after being embarrassed for a long time, Ning Le plucked up his courage and said softly:
"Lin Yan, what do you think of me?"
Lin Yan's heart shook for a moment, he asked such a question, and the topic was developing in a direction that she didn't expect.
A face flushed, she had never been confessed so directly by a man in this life, Liang Min was not good at words and was older than her, his maturity and stability often made her ashamed of herself, he and her had never had a conversation about the emotions of two people, the throbbing and longing of his youth was almost exhausted with the passage of time, and the destruction of reality was almost exhausted, when the sweet wedding period passed. Because of her natural silence, she had begun to stiffen between them from that point on, and became more and more stiff. In memory. He had never asked her what she thought of him, and she had never known what she was like in his eyes, so when Ning Le suddenly asked her what she thought of him, such a question sounded very suggestive to her, and it was also very ambiguous, and at the same time, it was also very provocative, and a beautiful face before she could react. I couldn't help but turn crimson.
Her sudden crimson face gave Ning Le a lot of courage, and he leaned forward and put his arms on the table. I want to be closer to her. He locked her eyes straight, and his tone was firm, or rather he tried to make himself look firm and reliable, and he said to her in a loud voice:
"Lin Yan. Although I don't have anything now. But I will work hard, I will definitely try to be very good to you, no matter what you want, I will try to earn it for you, I will laugh with you when you are happy, I can give you a shoulder to lean on if you are unhappy, I will never make you sad, although I may not be able to let you live such a rich and glorious life as before, but I will do my best to make you not lack in this life. Be carefree, and I will be your most solid support on the road of life in the future. This is not a sweet talk to be said casually, Lin Yan, I mean it. ”
Lin Yan couldn't laugh anymore, she looked at him with a stiff expression, and her face was as white as jade and crimson as a peach blossom in March. Her heart was beating fast, and it wasn't what she meant by throbbing, and although she didn't feel it throbbing because of him, she did feel very moved, moved by his sincere tone and his heartfelt promise, and she felt that even her heart was trembling, trembling so violently that the violent tremor even made her eyes red inexplicably.
Among the men in Su Ji Pinxian Building, Lin Yan and Ning Le are the best, Ning Le is cheerful and friendly and cares about her very much, because Ning Le often takes care of her, so she usually cares about Ning Le very much. There is no doubt that she likes Ning Le, but after all, love and love are still a little bit worse, she never thought of remarrying, and she never regarded Ning Le as the object of her life together, he is a man who seems to be hot but is gentle, he deserves a better girl.
"Lin Yan ......" Ning Le is impatient in the end, after waiting for a long time, without seeing Lin Yan's answer, he finally couldn't hold back the panic and anxiety in his heart, and called in a low voice, as if he wanted to add something, pushing her to make up her mind.
However, before he finished speaking, Lin Yan interrupted him very gently, with a pair of silkworm eyes with a heart-warming smile, she looked at him indistinctly, smiled gently, and said softly:
"Ning Le, thank you, but...... No. ”
Wen Wan refused straightforwardly, and at that moment, Ning Le's heart suddenly became cold, as if he was suddenly frozen, and he felt a bone-piercing coldness from top to bottom and from the inside to the outside. He stiffened for a long time, gritted his teeth, and spilled a sentence from between his teeth:
"Is it because I'm just a small citizen of Shengdou, and I'm not worthy of you?"
"Not really." Lin Yan replied softly.
"What's the reason for that?" Ning Le suddenly looked up and looked straight at her with a pair of reddish eyes, as if to say that he wouldn't give up if she didn't give a reason.
Lin Yan was silent for a while, lowered her head, looked at her wrung hands, and said in a low voice:
"There are many reasons, and there seems to be no reason, I can't say, in short, no."
Ning Le looked at her, his lips moved, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything, because he didn't know where to start.
The two fell silent, this was the noisy street, because the street was so lively, and the lively atmosphere drowned the awkwardness between them in the bustle of vigorous prosperity, and only they themselves could understand what they were feeling in their hearts at this time.
"Ning Le, you are kind and diligent, and you will definitely marry a very, very beautiful woman to be your wife in the future." After a long time, Lin Yan hung her head and said softly, even she felt embarrassed to say such perfunctory words on such an occasion, but when she said this, she was indeed from the heart, she was sincerely blessing him.
Ning Le laughed, he laughed, this laughter was very much like self-deprecation, and there was a mockery of her sanctimoniousness. This mocking laugh made Lin Yan's face crimson in an instant, and she was extremely embarrassed. Ning Le also came back to his senses after this involuntary laughter, he didn't have the slightest intention of hating her because she was rejected by Lin Yan. But the self-deprecation sounded like sarcasm at her, and he panicked. Subconsciously want to explain, open your mouth, but don't know what to say. No matter how he explained it, he felt that he was ridiculous, and explaining it would only make him more ridiculous, so he wiped half of his slightly embarrassed face with his hand, hung his head, and sat silently. It's not a man's job to walk away at this point. But if he didn't leave, he felt that he was about to be overwhelmed by the embarrassment, and he was in a dilemma.
At this time, Lin Yan's mood was surprisingly similar to him. She was also in a dilemma, so she could only hang her head and unconsciously wringed the handkerchief with her hands.
Under the wall at the corner of Su Yizhuang's porch, Su Chan put her hands in her pockets and leaned back on the wall with one foot. Leaning back against the wall, looking up at the blue sky today. Silently, like a transparent ghost......
North of Suzhou City, Thorn History Mansion.
A middle-aged man in a crimson round-necked robe stood straight at the gate, bent down deeply and saluted, barely suppressing the trembling in his heart, everyone in the officialdom knew that the most boring thing in the life of King Rui was the timid person who was only submissive, he tried to make himself look more like a pillar of the country, and said respectfully:
"The general is reassured. The lower officials were scheduled to deliver the money within five days. ”
Liang Min wore a dark round-necked cloud brocade robe today, and his whole body was black without a trace of variegation. The bright sunlight shines softly on the hem of his clothes through the refraction of the blue sky, and the gorgeous fabrics seem to ripple one after another mysterious and magnificent ripples against the background of the sun. He stood tall and tall in front of the yamen of the Assassin's Mansion, glanced at Li Tingshi expressionlessly, and he did not respond to his respectful statement, but turned around indifferently and got into a luxurious carriage.
"Congratulations to the General." Li Tingshi breathed a long sigh of relief, not at all angry because Liang Min didn't speak, it was better to say that it was thanks to him not saying a word, because whenever that person spoke, it was often when he was about to send someone to Huangquan, Li Tingshi wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and subconsciously touched his neck, fortunately, his head was still there.
The dark luxury carriage drove steadily on the straight and wide avenue, and Gu Ren handed in a letter through the curtain of the carriage, and whispered:
"Lord Shizi, the princess sent someone to send a letter from eight hundred miles in an urgent manner."
Liang Min, who was already in a depressed mood, heard this, a pair of sharp sword eyebrows wrinkled even tighter, and after a pause, he took it, opened the envelope and took out a piece of stationery from it, and read it roughly. As in the previous letters, his mother urged him to return to Liangdu, and her words were already expressing anger at him for disobeying her wishes, and those anger was accompanied by a strong threat of disgust.
He sat in the carriage, looked at the handsome but implied a hint of the fly-headed small letter on the letter for a while, then crumpled the short letter in the palm of his hand, his hand gradually clenched, and when he released it again, the letter had become black and white fragments, drifting away with the wind.
Mother said that if he didn't go back, she would send someone to deal with Lin Yan, Princess Rui wanted to deal with the daughter of a four-grade petty official, although the letter was vague, but he knew that this was what his mother meant. Mother also said that unfilial piety is the greatest, he fell Wei Xianya's belly of the child she can not care, but also allow him to choose his own woman, no matter who that woman is, as long as it is not Lin Yan, now the imperial city is turbulent and unstable, he must quickly find someone to continue the heir, in order to keep the wealth and glory of the Rui Palace.
Liang Min's face was dark, and a pair of eyes that were as cold as a thousand-year-old cold pool fluctuated with a ghostly light that even he didn't understand.
He already knew his mother's strength and ruthlessness, as his mother's only son, he was not willing to confront his mother, whether these reluctances were his mother's love or fear of his mother, he couldn't tell, a mother who only handed over his son to a nurse to raise, and lived in the same mansion but never visited his young son's mother, but such a mother has been controlling her son for thirty years, until now Liang Min does not dare to say that he is completely free from his mother's authority.
Even his father couldn't gain the upper hand in front of his mother, and when he hadn't married Lin Yan, his mother secretly attacked Lin Yan several times, and it was his life that forced him and his father to invite him to give a marriage that made his mother compromise. He thinks he is still a little timid towards his mother, because of the deep-rooted timidity when he was young, so he didn't dare to rebel too much against his mother, and he had made a lot of compromises on many issues, which made Lin Yan suffer a lot of grievances after entering the house. Perhaps it was also because Lin Yan saw the timidity in his heart, so in the ten years of marriage, she gave him a lot of comfort that he only figured out after separation, but never told him grievances and resentments.
Heirs, of course he wants to have, he has always wanted to have, and in his heart he is very eager to have a child. Maybe it was because his performance was too urgent and his hope was too strong before, he always asked about Lin Yan's body, and when he went out to perform official duties, he didn't forget to look for famous doctors and ask him to go back to Liangdu to treat Lin Yan, he thought it was for her good, but in fact, it invisibly increased her pressure, but he didn't notice this at that time.
A pair of cold lips pursed slightly, what he wanted was him and her children, without her, even if he had more children, it was useless, he could give up anything in this world, only her, he would never give up.
On the long street, the lively cries came into his ears through the curtain of the carriage, and he suddenly remembered that he had just heard Li Tingshi's wife say that there were two rare good horses in Suyizhuang today, and he remembered that he had seen Lin Yan in coarse cloth dresses all the time in the past few days, and couldn't help frowning, paused, and commanded Gu Ren in a deep voice, and the carriage turned a corner and drove towards Suyizhuang.
The carriage drove to a place less than a hundred meters away from Su Yizhuang, Liang Min lifted the curtain and looked out, this look, because of the calm mind after quiet thinking, was turbulent again, this time not because of the anxiety of the cone, but because of the burning anger.
Lin Yan and Ning Le sat facing each other, both hanging their heads, as if they didn't want to look at each other, with embarrassed expressions, crimson faces, and Ning Le's eyebrows and eyes full of complicated feelings, it was not clear that Liang Min was a fool.
He's not stupid, so he's angry.
Lin Yan, who was still in a chaotic heartbeat, didn't notice Liang Min's arrival at all, her head was pressed low, until a voice with a piercing coldness sounded overhead:
"What are you doing?"
Lin Yan was shocked, and when she raised her head and saw Liang Min, she stood up at the same time, because the range of movement was too large and knocked over the chair behind her, she became more and more panicked, squatted down in a hurry, and lifted the chair with a crimson face, and her embarrassed appearance seemed to Liang Min to be weak-hearted.
There was a green cloud floating overhead, as if it would cover it at any moment.
Liang Min's face was dark and angry. (To be continued......)
