She was slightly stunned, and walked over to give a slight blessing:

"Slave maid to Young Master Tianning, please say goodbye."

Since the last time Mu Tianning came to ask her for a kiss, she was always very polite every time she saw him, and deliberately wanted to distance herself from him.

Mu Tianning stood up, glanced at Xia Yu, Xia Yu understood, silently walked to the door, turned around and saluted him, and then retreated without saying a word, leaving space and time to the two of them.

Lin Ling'er stood in place, neither advancing nor retreating, but asked lightly:

"Young Master Tianning came so late, is there something to find Ling'er?"

Mu Tianning walked over to her, and the image of them playing on the ice together came to mind, she mischievously pushed him down, sat on the plow with him and laughed, the cold wind blew her face red, but it made her look even more moving.

In the past few days, he has been trying to shape himself into what she likes, no longer crazy and fun, and be a mature and stable man, I don't know if she saw it, I don't know if she likes him a little bit?

"Bell ......"

His footsteps stopped five paces away from her, for he didn't dare to get too close, for fear she wouldn't like it.

He didn't know why he came, he just thought to himself, and he walked here unconsciously during his night walk, just wanting to see her, to see her, to talk to her.

"How are you doing?"

He asked.

Lin Ling'er gently tugged the corners of her lips and said:

"It's fine."

In fact, they would meet every day, but he didn't dare to get close to her, so he could only silently accept her greetings.

"I've been working hard these days, so, so I don't have much time to play with you."

He wanted her to know that he was changing for her.

She nodded, with a smile on her face, but as if an encouragement:

"Well, I've heard Chunyu say it, that's good."

Mu Tianning's originally nervous face suddenly overflowed with a smile of surprise:

"That's good? Are you saying I'm fine like this? ”

Lin Ling'er thought his reaction was very funny, innocent and cute and full of childishness, so this time it became a real encouragement, and she smiled more sincerely:

"Yes, Young Master Tianning was originally a very good person, and now he is working so hard, of course it is better."

"What about you...... Would you like me like this? ”

Lin Ling'er's heart sank, she didn't expect Mu Tianning to be still obsessed with this.

originally thought that he had figured it out in the past few days, his personality was like a child who didn't grow up, greedy for jokes and laughs, and liking her was just a whim, and he would naturally forget it after a long time.

From his words, she could tell that the reason why he worked hard seemed to be for her.

She can't give him hope anymore, last time it was a misunderstanding, this time she must be resolute.

Putting away her smile, she tried her best to keep a calm state of mind and said:

"Young Master Tianning, I like you, because we are friends, and it is right for friends to like each other, that's all."

She felt that the words had come to this point, which was simple and clear, but she didn't want Mu Tianning to say:

"Ling'er, since you like me too, why don't you marry me?"

"As I said, we are friends, and I don't like you as much as I like between men and women."

Didn't she say it clearly enough? This can be regarded as a euphemistic refusal, why does he seem to not understand?

Mu Tianning took a step forward, looking a little eager:

"Maybe not now, but that doesn't mean there won't be in the future, right?"

"I ......"

She wanted to continue explaining, but he couldn't wait to interrupt her and continued:

"Ling'er, as long as you are willing to marry me, I promise to be good to you, good to you for a lifetime, I will not marry other women, I only need you one is enough, and then you will definitely like me as much as I like you."

"Young Master Tianning......"

"Don't call me young master, please......"

She took a deep breath and said in a cold tone:

"Okay, Mu Tianning, I want you to know that in this life, I will never ...... again I won't get married, I just want to live alone, whether it's you or any other man, I don't want it, thank you for this kind of heart, I can only say thank you. ”

She almost slipped out, she wanted to say that she would not marry again, because in fact, she had already married Mu Jiuxiao.

"Why?"

Mu Tianning asked unwillingly.

She said:

"If you still want to be friends with me, then I would like to consider you my best friend."

He took another step forward, closer to her.

"I can't do it, it's just an excuse to say that I want to be friends with you, it's just an excuse for me to get close to you."

She didn't hide, just stood firmly in place, neither humble nor arrogant:

"It's okay, we weren't supposed to be friends in the first place."

Speaking of this, she gave Mu Tianning a salute and said coldly,

"It's getting late, the slave is going to rest, Young Master Tianning, please go back."

"Bell ......"

"Young Master Tianning, please come back."

Mu Tianning wanted to say something more, but she interrupted him mercilessly, got up and shouted towards the door,

"Xia Yu, send Young Master Tianning!"

Xia Yu responded to the call, but just stood at the door and looked at the two, and then lowered his head.

Mu Tianning's good-looking eyebrows gradually rose, and he left with a sentence:

"I'm not going to give up."

When he passed by the door, Xia Yu said respectfully:

"Young Master Tianning, walk slowly."

The door of the elegant room was slammed shut by Mu Tianning, making a "bang" sound, which shook Xia Yu's whole body.

Xia Yu walked to Lin Ling'er's side, looked at her helpless expression, looked at the door again, and asked with some puzzlement:

"Sister Ling'er, why don't you accept Young Master Tianning? I think if you choose a husband, Young Master Tianning is a very good candidate. ”

Lin Ling'er shook her head helplessly, walked to the table and sat down, poured herself a cup of tea and drank it.

Xia Yu followed, sat beside her, still couldn't suppress her curiosity, and said:

"Or because of the prince's ......"

She remembered the situation when Mu Jiuxiao broke into the elegant room that day, her sharp eyes and cold expression, and she couldn't help but tremble when she thought about it now.

Although the prince took Lin Ling'er with him, no one in the Hades Mansion couldn't understand it, it had been some time, why didn't the prince accept her as a side concubine for a long time, did he really just want her to be a maid?

There are so many maids in the Hades Palace, he didn't have a personal maid in the past, but now why does he want a girl next to the princess, or a girl who has just entered the mansion and has a perverse personality?

Even Xia Yu, who had been wandering around the prince and Lin Ling'er all day, couldn't figure out what was going on, and he was just guessing.

"Xia Yu, if you had to choose, who would you choose?"

Lin Ling'er put down the teacup and asked suddenly.

Xia Yu blinked his eyes, a little stunned, and asked:

"Sister Ling'er, what are you talking about?"

Lin Ling'er propped up her chin, looked at her for a long time, and said:

"I mean, Lord Wang and Young Master Tianning, if you were to choose, who would you choose?"

Xia Yu suddenly blushed and said angrily:

"Sister Ling'er, what are you talking nonsense, how can I have that blessing...... It's already good that Xia Yu can stay by her sister's side like now, and she doesn't dare to ask for anything more. ”

"And what if one day I'm gone?"

Lin Ling'er asked.

"You're gone?"

"Yes, if one day I leave the palace or marry outside, what will you do?"

"I ...... Didn't think about it. I am a maid left and right, and I will do whatever the prince asks me to do. ”

Lin Ling'er laughed treacherously, pinched Xia Yu's face, and teased:

"Oh...... Finally tell the truth, whatever the prince asks you to do, you will do it, it turns out that the person you want to marry is the prince......"

Xia Yu was so anxious that his face turned even redder, and he hurriedly argued:

"I didn't mean that, Sister Ling'er, you're necrotic......"

The two of them were fighting, and the unhappiness between them and Mu Tianning just now didn't seem to have happened, but Mu Tianning didn't think so in his heart.

was rejected by Lin Ling'er again, although he was a little disheartened, his subconscious fighting spirit seemed to be stronger.

Back at Xiangfeng Residence, he asked Ayin to bring wine, and he didn't listen to persuasion and drank a lot alone.

"Young master, don't drink anymore!"

Ayin took the flask and gave it to him again.

"Take, take!"

Mu Tianning was already a little incoherent when he spoke, and he reached out to grab the wine jug in Ayin's hand, but was stopped by Chunyu.

Turning back to Ayin, Ayin understood, and hurriedly put away the wine jugs on the table.

Only Mu Tianning and Chunyu were left in the house, and Chunyu sighed softly and said:

"Young Master Tianning, the slave will help you in and rest."

Mu Tianning didn't appreciate it, grabbed Chunyu's collar, pulled himself closer, and reprimanded:

"It's all you, it's you! Didn't you say that she likes mature and steady men, let me study hard and practice hard, and say that she will definitely like me...... You liar, deceive! She doesn't like me, she still doesn't like me......"

"Young Master Tianning, you're drunk."

Watching the man she likes drink and get drunk for other women, she can only watch, she can't do anything except give him a little more care.

A person's heart can't be controlled, if she can control it, she will beg Ling'er to like him, as long as she can make him happy, she is willing to do anything.

"I, I'm not drunk, I sue you, if she doesn't like me, I'll, just ask!"

He tugged at her collar vigorously, as if Lin Ling'er didn't like him and Chunyu was the culprit.

Chunyu slowly pulled his hand away, didn't say anything, picked him up, put him on his shoulder, and walked to the inner room.

"Ling'er, Ling'er...... I'm going to marry you, marry you......"

He muttered, already a little delirious, Ren Chunyu carried him to the bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Helping him cover the quilt, Chunyu walked out of Xiangfeng Residence, she stood at the door and hesitated for a moment, then walked to the elegant room.

It was Xia Yu who came to open the door, and at this time, the two were already preparing to go to bed, and they were quite surprised to see Spring Yu coming so late.

"Spring rain, why are you here so late?"

Xia Yu asked in surprise as she let her into the house.

"Where's Sister Ling'er?"

Chunyu didn't respond to her words, his eyes probed indoors, and asked.

"Are you looking for Sister Ling'er?"

Chunyu nodded.
