If Song Lingyue had known that there would be today, she would have said that she would also ask for the four boxes of thank-you gifts.

"Why don't you speak? Could it be that I was scared? A gentle smile condensed on Song Xuanran's lips.

Song Lingyue nodded lightly: "I was indeed a little scared." ”

"There's no rush in this matter, you can think about it slowly, don't rush to give me an answer." Song Xuanran's voice is still as gentle as ever, revealing an empathetic taste.

"Ling Yue, can you give me a chance? I really want to take care of you, so that you don't have to show up and sleep in the open anymore. Although his gaze did not look at Song Lingyue, the expression in his tone was obvious.

"Forgive me for my abruptness, I'm just worried that if I don't show my heart now, I'll never have the opportunity to say it again. I'm sorry if it scared you. His tone was as gentle as the night breeze, and his flattering expression was matched with a cautious look, which made Song Lingyue's refusal stuck in his throat and turned.

Song Lingyue took several deep breaths, glanced at Song Xuanran with some apologies, and resolutely spoke: "I'm sorry, I can't accept your intentions." ”

"You don't like me? Or do you think I've had a wife, so I'm not worthy of you? Song Xuanran's fingers hanging by his side suddenly tightened, and a faint pain made his vocal cords tremble a little.

Song Lingyue pursed the corners of her lips, and the apology in her eyes was even stronger: "You're fine, it's just ......"

"It's just that you don't like me and don't like me." Song Xuanran showed a wry smile on his face.

"No, no. Brother Xuanran, you are very good, you have created such a big family business at a young age, you are really young and promising. You are handsome and extraordinary, and many girls will fall in love with you. Song Lingyue racked her brains to blow a rainbow fart on Song Xuanran, for fear that Song Xuanran would be depressed again because of her refusal.

"Excellent? If I'm so good, why wouldn't you? Is it because I have Yeon-yeon? Still is? Song Xuanran stubbornly came up, quite a posture of breaking the casserole and asking the end.

"Yeon-yeon is so cute, I like her a lot. Seeing that you are very attentive and gentle to Yeon-yeon, I think you should be a good father. Just ......"

Without waiting for Song Lingyue to finish speaking, Song Xuanran took the first step to speak: "Lingyue, but I really like you." It's been a long time since I've felt such a strong feeling of heartbeat. ”

His eyes burned hot, like a flame.

"Lingyue, I really want to protect you, I want to use my shoulders to shield you from the wind and rain, I don't want to see you work hard and show up for your livelihood again. If you can accept me, I promise to give you endless glory and wealth, although the Song Mansion is not as good as the palace, but there are countless servants, eating and drinking without worry, wearing gold and silver is even more sparse and ordinary. ”

Song Lingyue frowned tightly at first, but the next second she stretched out, Song Xuanran thought that it was his offensive that attracted Song Lingyue, but she didn't expect that her thin lips were raised:

"Song Xuanran, you just said that you like me because I don't love vanity and don't covet wealth, but now, in order to please me, you hope that I will nod, and you are only glorious. Don't you think it's contradictory that you are worried that other women are falling in love with you because of your wealth, and on the other hand, you are trying to use your money to buy me to stay? ”

"I ......" Song Xuanran was stuck in his throat as if he was stuck by a fish bone, and I couldn't say the next words for a long time.

"You said you wanted to shelter me from the wind and rain, and you didn't want to see me show up for my livelihood, maybe you thought I would be moved to hear you say this, but you didn't." Her lips hooked into a sneer, and her eyes became cold and mocking:

"Song Xuanran, you like me all the time, but everything you say, do, and think is all yours, not me. You like me, but you never think about what I want to do, is that like? This is imprisonment, this is possession, this is deprivation, this is not liking, this is not worthy of being called liking. ”

Song Lingyue's voice was not loud, but it was also loud in the quiet night.

"Your like, just treat me as your vassal, I can't afford to like this."

Song Lingyue threw down the last sentence, didn't even give him a look, and Shi Shiran got up.

Without waiting for Song Xuanran to stay, he turned back to the shore according to the original road.

Song Xuanran stretched out his hand in vain, only grabbing an empty scene, only the tip of his nose still lingered with a shallow medicinal fragrance.

He sat silently in place, quietly watching Song Lingyue's disappearing figure, and a bitter taste suddenly welled up in his mouth.

The more Song Lingyue thought about it, the more angry she became, and she walked with her head down.

I don't know if it was a burst of luck, I was beaten crookedly by her, and I found my way back.

I was thinking about going back to sleep well and forgetting everything that had just happened, when I just entered the gate of the West Wing Courtyard, I saw Qi Mo in green clothes standing at the door, leaning against the door with his shoulders hugged, his head hanging low, as if waiting for her.

Song Lingyue slowed down and cautiously walked to Qi Mo, only to find that Qi Mo was asleep.

"Don't sleep here, beware of catching a cold." Song Lingyue patted Qi Mo's arm, and Qi Mo immediately woke up from the shallow water.

"You're back?" He blinked, and saw clearly that the person in front of him was Song Lingyue, and the first sentence was this.

"How do you know I'm not here?" Song Lingyue tilted her head suspiciously and looked at Qi Mo.

Qi Mo raised his eyebrows: "How else can I know, naturally I found that you were not there after I went in." ”

"Why do you just go into someone's room?" Song Lingyue glared at Qi Mo with disgust.

"I just opened the window and took a look." Qi Mo said innocently, and took out an oiled paper bag from his arms, "Here you go, knowing that you definitely didn't eat enough at night, I specially brought it to you." ”

Song Lingyue opened it and saw that it was two buns wrapped in oil paper, and they were still warm.

"So you came to me in the middle of the night to bring me buns?" Song Lingyue pursed the corners of her lips and smiled, and motioned for Qi Mo to sit down with him on the stone chair used for enjoying the shade in the small courtyard.

Breaking the bun, the oily meat filling exuded an intoxicating aroma, and Song Lingyue couldn't wait to take a bite.

"You even know that I haven't eaten enough at night, it's not easy." Half of the bun went down, and there was some satisfaction in the empty stomach, which made Song Lingyue not panic.

"I've been with you for so long, can I still not understand you?" Qi Mo's eyes narrowed, and he didn't forget to instruct: "Eat quickly, go and rest early after eating." ”

"But where did you get the buns? This Song Mansion is terrifying, I just went out and got lost. Song Lingyue swallowed the other half of the buns in two bites.

"I was taken by the little guy and remembered it once." Qi Mo said it was an understatement.

Song Lingyue pursed her lips and glanced at Qi Mo, okay, you cow, you are powerful, you will remember it when the servant takes you around.

"But it's you, so late, where the hell did you slip away? If I can't wait for you any longer, I'm going to look for you everywhere. ”

A mouthful of buns was stuck in her throat, and Song Lingyue only rolled her eyes when she was choked.

Qi Mo hurriedly patted her on the back, Song Lingyue took a lot of effort to swallow the bun in her mouth, it was so hanging, she was about to become the person who choked to death by the bun.

"Where can I go, I walked around." Song Lingyue came out in a panic without thinking about it, for fear of being seen through by Qi Mo, so she hurriedly touched her earlobe with her hand.

Qi Mo's thin lips tightened a little, "You know what? Every time you are nervous, your hand will unconsciously touch your earlobe. So, where the hell have you been? ”

Song Lingyue's hand touching her earlobe froze in mid-air, and she felt weak in her heart, and said in her heart: Is this Qi Mo telling the truth or deliberately deceiving her? Does she really have a habit of touching her earlobes when she is nervous?

Song Lingyue thought about it, and that hand inadvertently kneaded her earlobe twice.

Song Lingyue realized this, and hurriedly put her hand down, fixed it with her other arm, and squeezed out a smile on her face: "I didn't go anywhere, I just went to the lake and sat down." ”

"I passed by the lake when I came back, why didn't I see you?" Qi Mo immediately exposed Song Lingyue's lies.

Seeing that she couldn't hide it anymore, Song Lingyue could only choose to tell the truth, she glanced at Qi Mo dejectedly, blinked innocently, and said:

"I did go to the lake, but not by the lake of the West Wing Courtyard, but I got lost and went to the lake of the East Wing Courtyard."

"What else?" Qi Mo narrowed his eyes, he always felt that Song Lingyue had other things to hide from her.

Facing Qi Mo's eyes, which seemed to have seen through everything, Song Lingyue could only be defeated again: "Okay, I said, I said it." ”

Qi Mo put his hands around his chest, waiting for a long time to listen to his ears.

"I found myself lost in the East Wing Courtyard, and saw that the lotus flowers on the lake were blooming beautifully, so I couldn't help but stay there and enjoy the lake view. Isn't there a pavilion in the middle of the lake? I just went over, but I didn't expect Song Xuanran to be there, so I chatted with him. ”

Song Lingyue roughly talked about the situation of meeting Song Xuanran, and paid attention to Qi Mo's expression as she spoke.

"And what did he tell you? Lonely men and widows, at night, you don't know how to avoid suspicion. Qi Mo glanced at Song Lingyue with hatred.

Song Lingyue really wanted to say that they are also lonely men and widows now, and they are late at night, why didn't he Qi Mo avoid suspicion.

However, Song Lingyue only dared to think about this in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it.

"He said that today was his wife's life sacrifice, and I comforted him a few words." Song Lingyue saw that Qi Mo's face softened a little, and seemed to have two points of sympathy for Song Xuanran, and then used a relaxed and pleasant tone to try to confuse the past: "He confessed to me and said something like me." Well, that's pretty much it. If it's okay, I'll go back to my room and go to sleep. ”

Song Lingyue got up, and just as she wanted to escape, she was grabbed by Qi Mo's wrist, "You wait for me!" ”

Song Lingyue's heart tightened, and she secretly screamed badly.

"He, with, you, confession, confession?! What does that mean?! Qi Mo said it loudly, and Song Lingyue hurriedly reached out to cover Qi Mo's mouth.

"What are you doing! With such a loud noise, are you going to wake everyone up? Song Lingyue looked around, bowed her head and warned Qi Mo: "You are not allowed to make any loud noises, do you know?" ”

Qi Mo reluctantly nodded, and Song Lingyue let go of the hand covering Qi Mo's mouth.
