Chapter 30 Each has his own heart
Ding Ning listened to Lin Zihao in the teahouse and told a lot about Lin Zihao's travels. The more Ding Ning listened, the more interested he became, and Lin Zihao took the opportunity to invite Ding Ning to dinner. Ding Ning thought that he would be alone when he went back, so he agreed.
Lin Zihao couldn't help laughing happily when he got Ding Ning's response. Ding Ning smiled happily when he saw Lin Zihao like a child, and responded with a smile.
In the garden of Luo's wedding room, Luo Xicheng asked Meng Li to prepare dinner, but he didn't see Ding Ning come back for a long time, Luo Xicheng was suppressing the fire in his heart, not to mention at this time, it was almost to the limit of what he could endure. Luo Xicheng said anxiously:
"Why hasn't Madame come back yet?"
"Master, I'll ask someone to invite Madame back, Madame doesn't know you're here, she's having dinner with Lin Gongzi in the restaurant now." Meng Li suggested when he saw his master's gloomy and frightening face.
"Please? Hum! With Luo Xicheng's muffled snort of dissatisfaction, he picked up the dishes and chopsticks and began to eat.
Luo Xicheng originally felt that it was a very inauthentic thing to leave Ding Ning alone at the city gate today, and he was still blaming himself for not treating a woman like this, but now, he was resentful of his thoughts, and he felt that he was too self-inflicted. The more he thought about it, the more Luo Xicheng indiscriminately picked up large pieces of vegetables and ate in large gulps, hoping that Ding Ning would be hungry and punished.
When Ding Ning returned to the garden where he lived, the sun had already set. As soon as Ding Ning walked into the garden, he saw Luo Xicheng sitting in the garden, and Meng Li behind him was also standing honestly, not daring to move at all.
Ding Ning didn't dare to move when she saw this, she stood straight at the gate of the garden. Luo Xicheng turned his eyes and looked at Ding Ning who was standing at the gate of the courtyard. Luo Xicheng waved his hand first, and walked away Meng Li, who was standing behind him, as well as Cuilan and Huanxi beside Ding Ning.
"Why is it so late?" Luo Xicheng asked.
"Eat with Lin Gongzi in Wangfu Building." Ding Ning replied simply and clearly.
"Why don't you send off the Baili Master and go home directly?" Luo Xicheng asked again.
"I haven't been outside for a long time, and I want to go." Ding Ning replied simply.
"Why don't you come back for dinner?" Luo Xicheng asked again.
"I thought you wouldn't come to dinner tonight, and it happened to be Lin Gongzi's invitation, so I ate out with Lin Gongzi." Ding Ning replied.
Hearing Ding Ning's answer, Luo Xicheng's heart was a little excited, after all, from Ding Ning's mouth, he knew that Ding Ning would only agree to Lin Zihao's invitation because he would not have dinner in the wedding garden, in other words, if he Luo Xicheng came back today, she would not agree to Lin Zihao's invitation.
"What did you say to Lin Zihao?" Luo Xicheng asked a little unsure, but he still wanted to know what they talked about.
"Lin Gongzi told me some of what he had seen and heard, and I chatted with him for a while when I was interested." Ding Ning replied.
Ding Ning answered Luo Xicheng's question only to find out that Luo Xicheng was jealous, so could Luo Xicheng be angry and not return to the garden because he bumped into something? Ding Ning thought about it carefully, and remembered the day when Luo Xicheng didn't come, Guan Lu Mo came, could it be that Lu Mo chatted with her in this garden Luo Xicheng saw it, so- Luo Xicheng was really jealous?
"If my husband doesn't like me to be with others, then I will pay attention in the future, I just think I don't have any friends, and I have some friendship with Guan Gongzi and Lin Gongzi, so I treat them as ordinary friends." Ding Ning said after thinking for a moment.
Luo Xicheng looked at Ding Ning's expression when he spoke, and listened to the tone of her voice, what made him feel at ease the most was that Ding Ning said that Ding Ning was just friends with Guan Lumo and Lin Zihao. At this moment, he wanted to get up and hold her in his arms. But he held back, and did not do so, but spoke:
"My travel experience is no less than Lin Zihao's, if you want to know anything interesting, you can ask me directly."
"My husband has to be busy every day, how dare I bother." Ding Ning's words are half true and half false, she didn't dare to talk to Luo Xicheng about these things because she still regarded Luo Xicheng as the master, and she used his good impression of her, but she was also afraid that this good impression would be destroyed by her too many words, after all, it is always the truth to say more wrong.
"Let's go, let's go inside." Luo Xicheng said.
Ding Ning listened to Luo Xicheng's words and also entered the house, Huanxi, who thought that there would be unpleasant or quarrels, and Cuilan and Meng Li all quietly hid at the base of the wall to observe, but nothing happened, their masters just talked so calmly, and then entered the house. Cuilan saw Luo Xicheng and Ding Ning enter the house, and she also quickly walked into the house to light the candle, and Huanxi went to fetch water to wash the two.
Luo Xicheng looked at Ding Ning who was tidying up his hair while washing, to be honest, with such a beautiful face, how could he let her be friends with Guan Lumo and Lin Zihao. He understands Lu Mo and will not pose any threat to him, but Lin Zihao is different, he and Ding Ning are really husband and wife no matter what. Thinking about it, Luo Xicheng really wants to have some special relationship with Ding Ning now......
Ding Ning looked at Luo Xicheng with a puzzled face, she didn't know what Luo Xicheng meant by looking at her all the time, the look in her eyes was sad for a while, and warm for a while. Ding Ning only felt that he was staying with Luo Xicheng today, and he was not at ease at all.
"If Madam wants to find a backer, then the lord is a good choice, I see that the lord really cherishes you, why do you have to go out of this Luo Mansion? Where to stay is not to stay. Cuilan took advantage of the time to help Ding Ning fix her hair bun and whispered in Ding Ning's ear.
Ding Ning turned her face to look at Cuilan, she didn't expect this girl to give her such a bold suggestion. All she used to think about was waiting for Luo Xicheng to get tired of her and hate her, or to help Luo Xicheng achieve Luo Xicheng's goal quickly, and then retreat to find her own freedom and happiness. Ding Ning didn't dare to think that she could really stay by Luo Xicheng's side, after all, she really didn't want their relationship to be too complicated, she didn't want to entrust her to someone who would only use her as a tool, and she didn't want to be shameless when she was finally kicked out of Luo's mansion...... She worried too much, so she only dared to use Luo Xicheng's favor to make it easier for her to stay in Luo Mansion.
"I have what I am worried about, and I also have what I want, thank you Cuilan for the reminder." Ding Ning turned his head and lowered his voice to prevent Luo Xicheng from seeing her speak.
"Cuilan is still the same sentence, no matter what Madame wants to do, Cuilan will go all out to help Madame." Cuilan said to Ding Ning with a smile, in fact, she wanted to tell Ding Ning that no matter what decision Ding Ning made, she would support her and help her, she hoped that Ding Ning would not work hard alone, and she could also be her right-hand man.
Cuilan helped Ding Ning clean up and closed the door and went out, and Meng Li also went back to his residence by himself.
Luo Xicheng and Ding Ning were lying quietly on the bed, Luo Xicheng really wanted to turn over and really hold Ding Ning in his arms, instead of stopping her in his arms when he was unconscious at night, and he didn't want to get up early every time to check if he was holding her, worried about whether he would disturb her and scare her.
Ding Ning began to think about what Cuilan said, what a woman wants most in her life is a sincere love for herself, she is not sure that Luo Xicheng can give her sincere love, after all, her experience also tells her that there are not many mountain alliances and sea vows in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, but how many can eventually become married! Ding Ning really wanted to ask Luo Xicheng about her feelings, but she also knew that when the love was strong, she would definitely ignore it, and once she got tired of it, it would be nothing. Ding Ning's lips closed lightly.
Luo Xicheng turned his face to look at Ding Ning, and he could see that Ding Ning was still asleep with his eyes open.
Coincidentally, Ding Ning also turned his face to look at Luo Xicheng. The two looked at each other.
In an instant, both of them sensed a trace of fire in each other's hearts, and they both quickly turned their faces back. After being silent for a long time, Luo Xicheng couldn't help but speak:
"What are your plans for the future?"
Luo Xicheng actually wanted to ask in his heart, "Will you just follow me?" But he was worried that his problem would scare Ding Ning, so he could only open his mouth and change his appearance.
Ding Ning heard what Luo Xicheng asked, she suddenly felt that Luo Xicheng really just regarded her as a chess piece, and she kept wondering, if Luo Xicheng was really interested in her, how could he bear to sleep next to her every night, but he would do nothing to her except hold her when he fell asleep. Now, Ding Ning understands that Luo Xicheng's kindness to her is because she is now his wife, and she is still valuable to him, and he needs to keep her.
"If one day you keep the agreement and let me out of the house, I will go to the prince in charge. Because I want to learn from him how to grow flowers and plants, how to use herbs. You don't know, many girls in the Spring Man Pavilion have internal diseases, and when Mother Nine is in a good mood, she will call someone to heal her, and when she is in a bad mood, especially those girls who have no guests, Mother Nine will only move them to the backyard to do hard labor. I want to do what I can to help people who need to see a doctor but can't afford it. ”
Luo Xicheng didn't care what Ding Ning would do, but he heard it and said that she was going to find Guan Lumo.
"Do you think Guan Lumo will teach you for nothing? Help? Luo Xicheng asked.
"I'm not going to let him pay for nothing. I won't hide it from you, I will save all the jewelry you gave me, and when the time comes, I will exchange it for two silver taels for Guan Gongzi, and I can also keep some to help those in need. Ding Ning replied.
"What about me?" Luo Xicheng wanted to ask Ding Ning what kind of position he was in Ding Ning's future arrangements. But Ding Ning didn't understand, Luo Xicheng was obviously asking about his plans after leaving him, why did he ask him again at this time.
"Huh?" You were stunned for a moment before you said seriously, "Master Luo is the one who saved me from the sea of suffering, whether you want to use me and Wanting's identical face, I am grateful to you." Even if I leave here one day, I will still consider you as my benefactor, a friend, and I will still come back to see my grandmother. Only, you don't refuse. ”
Luo Xicheng hadn't heard Ding Ning call him "Luo Gongzi" for a long time, he didn't think there was anything at all, but now he felt that he didn't like this title at all, and he said in a serious tone:
"You still call me 'husband', I'm more comfortable."
Ding Ning thought that Luo Xicheng would give some suggestions after listening to her plan, or say something else to her, but he didn't expect Luo Xicheng to say this inexplicably. Luo Xicheng does this mean that he wants to stay in Luo Mansion all the time? Ding Ning thought so, but Luo Xicheng didn't say it explicitly, and she had no way of knowing.
"Yes, 'husband.'" Ding Ning said.
Luo Xicheng wanted to use Ding Ning at first, but now he didn't want to do this at all, he began to want to protect her and protect her, just like he hurt Ding Ning in order to prevent Bailixi from seeing the flaws, so he simply went to contact Bailixi himself, instead of arranging for Ding Ning to contact Bailixi, just like he was worried that Lin Zihao would see through Ding Ning's identity and worry about every meeting between Ding Ning and Lin Zihao. Although he himself did not know what made him do it. Luo Xicheng heard Ding Ning's plans for the future, and his heart was secretly sad, although he promised Ding Ning that he would let her go, but he really didn't think that one day she would really leave. He began to regret that he had promised her to let her go.
Ding Ning wasn't sure if she was the slightest bit attracted to Luo Xicheng, but she was sure that it was difficult for her to trust any man.
Luo Xicheng and Ding Ning fell asleep unconsciously, and unconsciously, Luo Xicheng took Ding Ning into his arms again, Ding Ning was still awakened as before, and he still woke up in Luo Xicheng's arms as before, and then fell asleep peacefully in his arms......
