She thought silently in her heart, her expression gloomy, her eyes full of tears, but she stubbornly refused to fall.

However, the woman who was deeply immersed in her own grief at the moment did not notice that someone was quietly watching her in the dark.

If she was a little more delicate, she could find out that Gong Yeqing paid attention to her during the meal before. It's a pity that her mind is full of worries, and she didn't notice the change in Young Master Gong at all.

That's right, the one who was observing Su Yiran in the dark at this time was the young master of the palace.

Gong Yeqing originally just went to the garden to stroll after dinner, but he didn't expect to raise his head and unexpectedly see the woman standing on the balcony.

The woman was dressed in a white nightdress, her long hair was casually draped over her chest, and the expression on her face was faintly sad. Gong Yeqing suddenly felt that the woman was very beautiful, and he couldn't bear to be blasphemous.

On a whim, he stopped walking around, and sat intently on a chair in the garden downstairs, looking at the woman who was about to become his wife. She stood there silently, not knowing what she was thinking.

Through the bright light in the room, he could clearly see the sadness and confusion on the woman's face, a desperate sadness and a bewildered dazedness. will make people who see it can't help but want to hold her in their arms and take good care of her.

Duan Sizhe didn't realize that he seemed to be paying too much attention to the woman's mood, and his brows were unconsciously the same as hers, frowning more and more.

The breeze gently stirred the woman's long hair, but it could not blow away the sadness on her face. He wondered why the woman had such an expression, and the sadness on her face made people feel that they couldn't get rid of it.

The two of them were like that, one on the balcony and one downstairs. She didn't move, he didn't move, and it might not be one of the few quiet moments that belonged only to the two of them.

Because of preconceived prejudices, Gong Yeqing has always felt that a woman like Su Yiran will not have any feelings. And tonight, he seemed to see the other side of this woman.

This made him can't help but want to explore, why does this woman have such a side?

Before I knew it, a long time had passed, and the housekeeper came out to see the young master sitting on the chair, and his eyes had been looking at the balcony on the second floor.

He knew that he was bothering the young master a little, so he coughed first, reminding him of his arrival.

The man came back to his senses, and the unnaturalness of being spied on his mind flashed, and then he smiled naturally: "Why haven't you rested yet?" ”

The housekeeper has served in their house since he was a child, and has always watched him grow up, and he also has a deep affection for the housekeeper, and he thinks that only the housekeeper will make him worry about it.

But the woman on the balcony ...... He was actually moved by compassion, and he didn't dare to think about it deeply.

"Young master, it's cold at night, go back to your room early to rest." Standing respectfully beside Gong Yeqing, the housekeeper reminded him with concern.

"Okay." Gong Yeqing withdrew his somewhat reluctant gaze and turned his head to look at the housekeeper.

"Go back and rest early, don't get tired." After saying that, he strode forward, as if to deliberately ignore his own concern and concern.

The housekeeper nodded in response, looked at the woman on the balcony on the second floor, and then looked at the back of Gong Yeqing leaving, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a meaningful smile.

As the relationship between the two became closer and closer, Su Qiaoxue would come to Duan Sizhe's company to find him whenever she was free.

Although Duan Sizhe was dissatisfied, it was the critical moment to use Su Qiaoxue, and he could only tolerate her for the time being.

At this time, Su Qiaoxue was tired of Duan Sizhe, feeling the feeling of love brought to her by a man.

Su Qiaoxue received a call from Su Yiran and was ready to go to the appointment. She pouted unhappily, reluctantly stood up from Duan Sizhe's lap, and kept complaining: "Really, what are you calling me all the time, it's annoying." It's all already agreed, can I still not go to the appointment? ”

She has become accustomed to Su Yiran's forbearance and humility towards her, even after she knows that she is the adopted daughter of the Su family, she still can't change her attitude towards Su Yiran.

Duan Sizhe took the woman into his arms and explained: "Xue'er, I know that I have wronged you this time, don't worry, I will definitely compensate you well in the future." ”

The cause of revenge seemed to be about to succeed, but why didn't he feel the thrill of revenge?

Maybe it's because the diamond mine isn't in his hands yet, right? He also knows very well that there are some things that not only do it, but there is no room for maneuver.

"Really? You must not lie to me. Su Qiaoxue nodded when she heard this, put one hand into the man's hand, and slowly spread the five fingers of the two. Then, the fingers are interlocked, and the mind is connected.

She obediently leaned against the man's chest and listened to the man's heartbeat.

"How so? I won't lie to you, we're in the same boat now, don't worry. Duan Sizhe lowered his eyes and said softly.

"As long as you can ask about the diamond mines, I can wait for an opportunity. Don't worry, it's good to wait for this time. ”

Duan Sizhe firmly held the woman in his arms and couldn't help but say, "Xue'er, I can only rely on you now." ”

"Don't worry, Sizhe, I won't let you down." Ning Qiaoxue smiled disappreciatively, didn't she just ask about the diamond mine? What's the big deal.

"It's just Sizhe, you must not abandon me after you succeed." Although Duan Sizhe often says that he loves her, she doesn't have any sense of security like this.

She always wanted reassurance from him, a sense of security. It seems that this is the only way to feel at ease.

Duan Sizhe smiled lightly and said, "How come, after so long, don't you know what kind of person I am?" ”

He explained evasively, remembering the scene when Su Qiaoxue found himself and asked for cooperation, as if he was in a different world.

Su Qiaoxue's long hair reached her waist and was draped over her shoulders. A few strands of hair landed right on the hands of the two of them, as if trying to make them wrap tighter.

Duan Sizhe smiled absentmindedly, reached out and gently pulled the woman's long hair together, and did not speak.

The woman buried herself in Duan Sizhe's arms and said in a muffled voice: "It's not that I don't support or believe you, it's just that there are too many temptations outside, and those women are too ......."

Before she could finish speaking, Duan Sizhe intercepted her words: "Don't worry, Xue'er, leave everything to me, don't worry about these things." I'll take care of all the women outside, and you can enjoy it in peace. Well? ”

Su Qiaoxue looked at Duan Sizhe with her lips hooked and nodded: "Okay." ”

finally got the answer she wanted, and Su Qiaoxue stopped being entangled and laughed happily.
