The main lady is married because she wants to be beautiful.

There is still a week before Ye Qiuluo's big day, the huge Ye Mansion has been newly decorated, the courtyard of the four houses has been painted with new colors inside and out, the big red curtain tent is hung, the gorgeous golden palace lamps are decorated from time to time, the festive red carpet is spread all the way from outside the gate to the wings, the lotus string lights are sandwiched, and the buds and peonies are followed.

The big wooden box for the wedding in the hall was tied with silk flowers early, and there were scattered new items that had not been packed next to it, and the servants carefully checked the items with the list - this was Ye Qiuluo's most loyal activity after dinner, but today, she went back to the room early after dinner, so she had to be done by the maids.

The doors and windows of the boudoir were locked tightly from the house, the heavy purple curtains were lowered early, and there was only a bedside lamp in the room, Ye Qiuluo was sitting on the edge of the bed, his hands clenched, and his eyes did not stay on the platinum diamond watch under the lamp-

There are several fewer star diamonds on the dial, and the hands no longer turn, forever at the moment when they were broken.

It all started with the episode at Nishiyama Racecourse two weeks ago.

That day was relaxed and comfortable, the selection and acquisition of the war horse was also very smooth, the scheduled work ended early, and the rest of the time, Liu Jin rode horses and strolls with her and a group of generals in the horse farm, and the atmosphere is not much harmonious, until the exposure light of the camera attracts everyone's attention - it turned out that the reporter of the newspaper is taking pictures with the camera. The reporter seemed to be very familiar with Liu Jin, and when he saw everyone looking at him, he did not feel the slightest panic, but took off his hat and held it up and waved it. Looking at him, Liu Jin's brows slowly raised, and after a while, the horse rode towards him, and Ye Qiuluo did not delay, and chased after the reporter. It can be seen that the reporter in bib pants and a melon skin hat is not very old, and he looks more and more thin from the horseback, and his childish face is full of excitement:

"Young marshal, can I take a few more pictures of Madame? Everyone said that the photo of the two of you riding together was very good......"

"Nope." Liu Jin interrupted him coldly: "Not a single photo of today is allowed to appear in the newspaper." ”

"But ......"

"Tomorrow I will send someone to find you, you make a price, I will buy the negatives, and no one is allowed to be missing."

After finishing speaking, he turned his horse's head and left, looking at Liu Jin's back, the young reporter looked puzzled and aggrieved:

"Is the young marshal in a bad mood today? Usually I take pictures of you and he's happy to do it......"

Ye Qiuluo knew that this reporter recognized himself as Lin Wanjing, and Liu Jin must have known it, so he had to buy out the negatives, because he didn't want Lin Wanjing to see such a scene at all, in other words, he didn't intend to admit her existence at all, and maybe he didn't even think about giving her a real name. She naturally wanted to catch up with him and ask for an understanding, but when she returned to the crowd, she was told that Liu Jin had left first, and she didn't see her again until three days ago.

Three days ago, Liu Jin finally responded to her repeated invitations, and the meeting place was chosen at the Western-style restaurant she was used to going to, but the time was not a meal, at most it was afternoon tea time. When she arrived at the restaurant, Liu Jin had obviously been waiting in the private seat by the window for a long time, and when she saw her coming, she politely got up accordingly, this should have been an ordinary action, but it made her extremely uncomfortable. But she could only pretend to be calm and go to him:

"What? Do you have time to see me when you're done? ”

Liu Jin didn't answer, just made a "please sit" gesture to her, and then poured her a cup of flower tea.

"Mysterious ......," Ye Qiuluo said with a smile, "Who else are we polite to show each other?" ”

"I have something to say to you." Liu Jin put down the teacup and said with a straight face.

"Wait!" Ye Qiuluo interrupted him, and immediately reached out to him, the diamond watch on his wrist refracted the early autumn sunlight into rainbow light, "Is it good-looking?" ”

Liu Jin glanced at it, then looked away, and hummed in a low voice in response.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see the indifference in Liu Jin's tone, Ye Qiuluo took his hand back, changed the topic, and asked again:

"By the way, Brother Yun Rou, what does that line of Russian on the back of this dial mean?"

"You don't know?" Liu Jin was a little surprised, and thought about it, yes, it was Lin Wanjing who knew a little bit of Russian, not Ye Qiuluo, so he sighed for no reason, raised his eyes and stared at Ye Qiuluo's eyes: "I'm sorry." ”

Ye Qiuluo was stunned for a moment, and her watery eyes suddenly became a little uneasy: "What? ”

"That line means, I'm sorry." Liu Jin paused word by word, the words were clear, he expected Ye Qiuluo to ask, so he explained before her: "I can't marry you, so let's stop this matter." ”

"But...... All booked ......"

"I have already prepared a notice, and I will contact the newspaper to publish it on a later date, and I will say that it is my personal reason to cancel the marriage contract, and it has nothing to do with you."

"What do you mean 'nothing to do with me'?!" Ye Qiuluo shouted regardless of the side eyes of others, "If you don't want to marry me, you should say it earlier!" Now that the invitation has been printed and the banquet has been booked, you can tell me this kind of thing again! How do you want me to explain it to others?! ”

"I'll do everything I can to compensate you for your ......"

"Compensate me?" Ye Qiuluo sneered, "How to compensate me?" I want you to marry me, have you done it?! ”

"I'm sorry." Liu Jin replied without the slightest hesitation, "Except for this, I'm sorry." ”

A lonely smile slowly climbed up Ye Qiuluo's pretty face.

"Why?" She asked, although she knew the answer, she was still unwilling, "Is it because of Lin Wanjing?" ”

"Yes." Liu Jin's answer was still neat and crisp.

"Why? What's so good about her, why can't you let go like this?! Is she in a position of high authority? Or is she rich? Where am I not as good as her?! I've loved you for eighteen years since I first met you! ”

Liu Jin didn't intend to answer her, so she stood up: "I'm sorry, I never loved you." I'm just trying to use you to secure your position. ”

"I don't care! Love or use, I don't care! Ye Qiuluo grabbed him in a hurry, "If she has nothing, will you still love her?" If she will only be a burden to you, and I can help you, will you marry me?! ”

Seeing her so stubborn, Liu Jin sighed helplessly: "Luo Luo, sometimes, loving someone can be very simple. As he spoke, he came out of her hand, and just after taking a few steps, he heard a burst behind him.

"I don't want you to compensate me, and I don't want anything to be sorry for!" Ye Qiuluo slammed the watch to the ground, accompanied by the sound of broken glass, the star diamonds inlaid on the dial splashed and scattered, drawing a beautiful brilliance in the sun, like stars falling in the night.

But her venting like this was not reviewed by Liu Jin, he just paused in place, and then walked away.

The sound of hurried footsteps went straight through the corridor to Ye Qiuluo's boudoir, and finally stopped at the door of the boudoir.

"Miss Luo, Madame, please come to the hall, the new aunt is waiting in the hall."

Ye Qiuluo sat on the edge of the bed like a stake and did not respond, this is the third time her mother has sent someone to call her, she has deduced that she is tired and does not want to go, she was so happy that Liu Jin came to her, but tonight, Liu Jin's arrival is like a devil, as if she wants to lock her soul to pay for the death of the deceased.

"Miss Luo, I'd better trouble you to get up and go to see your new aunt, if you delay Mrs. any longer, you'll be angry......" The girl outside the door urged again, but there was still no response in the house, the girl waited for a while, sighed, and turned to leave.

In the main hall of Yefu, the eldest lady Luo sat in the hall with Liu Jin, and the tea soup in front of her had been changed twice, but Liu Jin never took a sip. The girl returned to the hall, glanced at Liu Jin's expression cautiously, and accelerated past him to Luo's side:

"Madam, I went to ask Miss, but Miss didn't answer me, and the light in the room was dimmed, so I was about to sleep......"

"Call her again." Roche interrupted her, "Don't say it's pretending to be asleep, let her get up even if she really sleeps." ”

The little girl didn't dare to slack off, answered yes, and hurried out of the hall again. Luo's last sentence was deliberately said to Liu Jin, but any man who has some pity for the jade should show some compassion when he hears this, but Liu Jin turned a deaf ear, and his face was still cold.

"Young marshal, you see that it is getting late, Luo Luoxu is really asleep, or you can go back first, and it is not too late to talk about anything tomorrow." Roche hesitated again and again, and finally spoke.

Liu Jin snorted coldly: "Ling Ai slept really early tonight." After doing such a thing, he can still sleep, and if his heart is not really big, he is completely indifferent and vicious. ”

"Why did the young marshal say this......"

"Well, even if she deliberately hides from her, then I won't be embarrassed." Liu Jin stood up as he spoke, walked out of the hall, and turned around when he arrived in the courtyard, only to see him standing alone in the rainstorm, and said loudly to the night:

"Ye Qiuluo! If you don't come out to see me tonight, that's it, and I won't pursue today's affairs. This is the end of the relationship between you and me, and the old feelings and grievances are written off! From now on, it will be cut in two, and there will be no more connections! ”

A passage of only ten numbers, the words are loud and clear, firm and powerful, and the strength of the heartfelt is mixed with the anger and sorrow in his heart, echoing in the cloudy and rainy night.

The hands that hesitated between forward and backward finally stopped forever, and the monotonous sound of mechanical gears in the boudoir was completely silent, and only the sound of rain outside the window was deaf.

The clenched hands slowly relaxed, and the glass sailboat in the palm of his hand fell to the ground and shattered in response, scattering into a crystal clear sand......

It was forever at a standstill.

Her and Liu Jin's time will always stand still on the day the watch was broken, and they can neither move forward nor backward.
