Mu Qing asked people to keep an eye on Zhihe and Li Mansion, and reported Li Shaowen's movements to him as soon as possible. But the news is that Li Shaowen can't see the end of the dragon at all, Zhilan always doesn't get better when he has a cold, and he always shirks his visits. In addition, the marriage period was suddenly shortened, and the time became more and more tense and insufficient, Mu Qing was irritable, he already had an inexplicable premonition, but he didn't dare to think in a worse direction, even if he was well-cultivated, he was waiting to torment himself in time. 

His work attitude suddenly became strict, and the people in the family or the staff in the silver building had to be cautious, for fear of being punished by him for doing something wrong. 

Li Shaowen returned to the city on the morning of the third day. As soon as he got off the train, he asked his servants to bring things back. I directly asked the driver to drive to the Zhou Mansion and pick up Zhilan for a light meal. 

Today, I took her to the Societe Generale Western restaurant next to the French Concession on Zhanqian Road to eat Western food. 

"The steak here is excellent, Lan'er, you can try it. Guess where I've been these days? Li Shaowen was in high spirits and smiling. 

And Zhilan looked at him lightly, without any desire to guess. 

"Forget it. To tell you directly, I went to Shanghai and specially brought back the most fashionable wedding dress for you. See! He said, handing her a packed box. 

Zhilan unwrapped the silk knot of the box, and the white wedding dress was neatly folded, and it was also decorated with decorative silver beads, and the veil seemed to be very long. 

"I bought it according to your weight, you take it back to try, if it doesn't fit, I'll ask the master to change it." 

Zhilan's fingers touched the roughness of the white yarn, and her heart was also pimple, there was an indescribable feeling, a little panic and a little uneasiness, this wedding dress was reminding her that the wedding date was imminent, and it was also the time when she completely lost the love of her heart, although she no longer had the ability to grasp the remaining things in her hands.

After the meal, this time he sent her back to the Zhou Mansion directly, Zhilan got out of the car, Li Shaowen half-hugged her, and said: "Alas, I really don't want to be separated from you, these days, I have never tasted the taste of being unable to sleep at night, I miss you so much." ”

Zhilan couldn't raise his interest, and only replied casually: "Yes." ”

"Heartless Lan'er." Li Shaowen was not satisfied with her answer, suddenly hugged her, and whispered: "I am so reluctant to you, I love you so much, kiss me as a reward and then go in, okay?" ”

Zhilan was suddenly hugged by him, and he was at the door of the house again, and he was not ready to prepare, so he lowered his voice and said: "I haven't recovered from my cold, aren't you afraid of being infected?" ”

Li Shaowen stepped up the strength of his grip on her waist and said with a wicked smile: "I'm not afraid, why are you still shy?" Don't forget the ...... in the garden."

Zhilan was most afraid of mentioning that incident, so she had to compromise, stood on tiptoe, and kissed his lips perfunctorily, Li Shaowen was not enough, so she wanted to kiss her back. 

"Li Shaowen, what are you doing? Let go of Lan'er! Mu Qing suddenly saw this scene when he got out of the car. 

"It's the second brother. Lan'er is my fiancée, why shouldn't I make out with her? Li Shaowen asked with a smile. 

"Lan'er, she doesn't want to marry you. I just want to talk to you, so it's best to take this opportunity to just talk about it. You and my family Lan'er are not suitable, we have to divorce you. Mu Qing had been depressed for many days and couldn't find a goal, and finally said it.

"Oh? Is it? Why didn't I hear her say this? Marriage is a matter between me and her, and I want to listen to Lan'er tell me personally. Li Shaowen turned his head to look at Zhilan with an expression that was fixed on her. 

"Lan'er, what do you think, tell him quickly!" Mu Qing stared at her eagerly. 

"I ......" Zhilan didn't want to say her true feelings, but she lost all her back. Even if Mu Qing doesn't mind, she also has a feeling of being sorry for him, helpless, helpless!

She and Mu Qing looked at each other, their eyes moistened, and said, "Brother...... Sorry ......"

"Hear me, second brother. The brother-in-law took his leave first. Li Shaowen said intentionally, arching his hands and raising his legs to get into the car. 

Zhilan turned around and ran, tears streaming out of her eyes. 

Mu Qing understood it, she must have changed something during this time, otherwise how could she change her mind so quickly? He was determined to ask. 

"Let's go to the lake." Mu Qing caught up with her, pulled her and walked to the door. 

Phoenix poked her head out and saw Yancui packing up the wedding dress box on the floor. Mu Qing pulled Zhilan out of the door, the third lady seemed to be crying, she had already intuitively sensed that there was something wrong with these two people, and quietly followed behind. 

Mu Qing took Zhilan to the lakeside pavilion and asked emotionally, "Why didn't you refuse him in front of Li Shaowen?" You don't love him at all, and because of your background, you are not the daughter of the Zhou family, you should have corrected all this and found your true life and happiness......"

"I know, but it's not important. ”

"It doesn't matter, what matters? What kind of ecstasy soup did Li Shaowen pour you again? ”

Phoenix found a hidden bush and crouched down. I could just hear the conversation in the gazebo. "What! Third Miss is not ......" was so informative that she covered her mouth. 

"It's not...... I ......" Zhilan defended, but the words were so weak. 

"What is the reason for that? What position do you put in our feelings, and what should we do? Mu Qing got her unclear answer, and the more she talked, the more angry she became. 

Zhilan can't speak, even if he talks to Mu Qing clearly, what can he change, what can he get, all he gets is to increase his sadness, will he be disappointed in himself? If the old man forces him to go out, Li Shaowen will be aggressively approaching the wedding date next Wednesday. She must not push Mu Qing into a desperate situation, let alone leave an impression that she is not perfect in his heart. But she will still hold back because she is reluctant, and it is really too late.

"Tell me, Lan'er!" Mu Qing asked again and again, which made the thoughts she had imagined recently surface: long pain is better than short pain, since Mu Qing can't change the result of marrying Li Shaowen, he is destined to lose his life in this life, so it is better to simply cut off his thoughts! Let him forget that he lives well. As soon as the thought came out, her heart was trembling and bleeding, and her whole person was a little uncomfortable.

She made up her mind ruthlessly and said, "Brother, I'm sorry. I can't say anything to Li Shaowen if I get out of the marriage, because I like the feeling that you all love me and can't live without me, and I am very happy to see you being my ministers. As soon as the words came out, she only felt that her heart was contracting violently, and her whole body was cold and desolate. She and him, absolutely that's the end of it. She was about to shed tears, but she viciously ordered herself not to shed tears, as long as there was a tear, he would see through her lies.

"What are you talking about Zhou Zhilan? What do you treat me as an outcast from beginning to end, an outcast who comes and goes when I am called? Mu Qing couldn't believe it. 

"That's right." Zhilan gritted his teeth fiercely.

"You!" Mu Qing was such a gentle person, these words aroused his temper, and his face was gloomy and terrifying. Suddenly, he hugged her, took a deep breath, changed his tone and expression, and said, "I don't believe what you just said." Look at me, Lan'er, I don't believe you think so, I don't believe you don't have me in your heart, everything was pretending and acting before. Mu Qing's tone was gentle and quiet, with the power of bewitchment and hypnosis, Zhilan was completely intoxicated by the eyes of this ten thousand acres of lake. 

He covered her lips logically, and pecked at the contours of Lan's lips: "Tell me, Lan'er, you love me." ”

"No—" Zhilan hurriedly pushed him away. 

"You don't want to? Him, but you will? ......" Mu Qing fell silent and eagerly swept away, "I completely understand. When did you start to fall in love with him, it was me who was passionate. ”

Zhilan read his loneliness, his heart was like a knife, his lips trembled, and he only spit out three words: "Yes...... Right...... No...... Rise. ”

All this phoenix was in full view, and in an instant, her emotions fell from surprise to loss, and she couldn't help but feel sad, hearing the cruel words of Zhilan at the end, she secretly looked at the second young master who was in despair, and secretly hated Zhilan. 

I don't know when she has already silently liked Mu Qing. Even though she is humble and can't stop her love for him, as long as he asks her to do it, she is willing. Even if she knew that the second young master was in love with the third young lady, she was willing to retreat to the second, just to be able to serve by Mu Qing's side. When she saw and heard with her own eyes and ears that the words of the third young lady deeply stabbed the second young master, she was willing to suffer this heartache on his behalf. She hates her sweetheart even more. She gritted her silver teeth, and forced herself not to rush out on the spot to question the accusation. 

"Let's go." Mu Qing waved his hand weakly, "I'll be alone for a while." ”

Knowing that his heart was bleeding, Zhilan looked at him quietly, hesitated for a while, and sighed. She turned and clenched her fists and walked away with a squishy step. 

When Mu Qing saw her leave, her legs were weak and her body was crooked, and she almost fell. 

The phoenix rushed out at the right time to help him. She helped him sit down on the stone bench in the gazebo with all her might. 

"Why are you here? Did you hear what I said to Miss Three? Mu Qing asked probingly, thinking that if she really heard their conversation, this girl would not be able to stay. 

"Nope. I came to the lake to find the earrings that I lost. Just as the third lady was leaving, I found that you almost fell. Did you quarrel with Miss Three? How can there be an overnight feud between brothers and sisters? Second Young Master, don't think about it. Phoenix replied with a forced smile. 

"Alas...... Help me back to my room. Mu Qing understood her voice, but he didn't doubt her. 

After that day, Zhilan never saw Mu Qing at home again, and she hurt him so deeply, she didn't know how to face him, maybe it would be okay. The Li family came to the door to change the date, and it was set for next Wednesday. Time is pressing, so the family has to put it aside for the operation of Yuehua's marriage, and prepare Zhilan's dowry and other things first. 

Li Shaowen looked at women very accurately, and Zhilan tried on the wedding dress and it fits very well. In the mirror, she suddenly seemed to be a different person, beautiful and dignified. She looked at herself in the mirror, fantasizing that the groom was Mu Qing, and a smile curled up at the corner of her lips. 

The days are not prosperous, and they live step by step. Mu Qing complained about Zhi Lan, put all his thoughts on work, and stayed in the guest room of the silver building at night.

The phoenix couldn't see Mu Qing's face for several days, looking at the lights at home and beaming, the heroine Zhilan lived calmly, she was full of lovesickness and hatred, and fell on Zhilan. Someday...... She thought with a frown.
