He was jealous that the seventh brother could be with her, and he was also jealous that the seventh brother could stay by her side unscrupulously, and he, even if he stayed by his side, it was a sin. After coming back, she seemed to be deliberately avoiding herself, unable to, and had to use where to get some words from Gu Yue.

After learning that she and the seventh brother, the father and son of the Shen family went to visit Ling Yuan together, he realized that Shen Lansheng's choice was that the seventh brother did not run, so what about her? He suddenly wanted to know what she thought, and wondered if she had also chosen the seventh brother, so in the name of where he invited Gu Yue to have dinner with her, he was gambling, betting that she would come.

I'm glad he won the bet.

Su Ruo stood there and looked at him blankly, and it was really like a world away when they met again. It wasn't until Xu Zhengyan had already walked in front of her and sat down calmly that she came back to her senses and sat down in a panic.

She kept her head down, not looking at him, not knowing what to say. Gu Yue has always been able to mobilize the atmosphere, but now she didn't say anything, and the four of them sat quietly like this. Su Ruo felt that if she continued like this, she was afraid that she would not be able to help but run away, and as soon as she wanted to make a sound, a waiter knocked on the door and came in to deliver food, so she had to be silent.

The dishes were ready, but it was Xu Zhengyan who opened his mouth first and said, "Let's eat first." ”

Su Ruo glanced up at him, quickly retracted his gaze, and casually put some vegetables into the bowl, but he didn't know the taste, and a piece of cabbage could be chewed and swallowed slowly for a long time. She lowered her head, so naturally she didn't see the expression of Gu Yue beside her who was frowning.

But after a while, Gu Yue stood up and said that there was something to deal with at home and she had to leave first, who stood up and said to send her, Su Ruo looked at her in surprise, and wanted to keep it, the atmosphere of the four people was already very embarrassing, and only she and Xu Zhengyan were left.

However, Gu Yue directly ignored her eyes, gave her an inexplicable smile, and then took He Fang's hand and left.

When there were only the two of them left, the tension that had just been suppressed in Su Ruo's heart came out again, and this chopsticks were not to be held, nor were they to be put away. She sighed in her heart, she was really a disgrace like this, and she didn't have half a point.

Su Ruo looked at Xu Zhengyan, it just so happened that he was looking at her, and as soon as he raised his head, he crashed into those dark and deep eyes, those eyes that could sink her, Su Ruo was in a trance, she seemed to have not seen these eyes for a long time, nor did she see the person she wanted to see, and now that person was sitting in front of her.

Su Ruo took a deep breath and wanted to break the silence with a voice, Xu Zhengyan was always one step ahead of her, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "You... How are you doing? "Su Ruo has lost a lot of weight recently, probably because he is too tired during this time.

"Everything's fine." Su Ruo replied softly, and then pretended to be relaxed, "Si Shao has been busy with official business recently? In fact, what she wanted to ask was how he was doing during this time, whether the Shen family's divorce had any impact on him, and Zeng Yue...

"Hmm." Xu Zhengyan answered, and didn't speak again.

Su Ruo let out an "oh", didn't answer again, and suddenly quieted down again. She still lowered her head, and knew that Xu Zhengyan had been watching her, and there was an awkward atmosphere circulating in the air.

The quieter it was here, the more irritable Su Ruo's heart became. She has never been a person who can endure her temperament, and she is also a timid person, and today she came to confirm what she wanted, but she has already let it go.

But what does he mean by being so silent? In such an atmosphere, Su Ruo really couldn't stay any longer, so he immediately stood up and prepared to leave.

"Do you remember what you asked me that day?"

Xu Zhengyan sat in his seat and suddenly spoke, Su Ruo was stunned, what did she ask him that day? Does it refer to the day of the engagement feast?

"If you had in front of you something you wanted so badly, but it was a mirage, would you go out of your way to fight for it?"

"Yes, I will."

"And what if behind the mirage is a cliff? Will you still be? ”

"Yes."

The memories of that night came to his heart one by one, Su Ruo lowered his eyelids, and said, "What does the fourth young man refer to, Su Ruo doesn't understand." ”

Xu Zhengyan got up, took off his military hat and put it on the table, walked up to her, lowered his head, and enveloped her whole person in a shadow, his dark eyes were firm and serious, and said, "If you don't understand, I'll tell you." ”

"If it were you, I would have fought for the mirage, so what's the matter if I jumped off the cliff, now do you understand?"

Hearing this, Su Ruo still lowered his head and didn't speak, a trace of panic flashed in Xu Zhengyan's eyes, and he was a little anxious, and he reached out to hug her, when he suddenly received a punch in the chest, then a second punch, a third punch...

Xu Zhengyan let her beat, let her vent, I don't know how many punches he had, Su Ruo suddenly wrapped his arms around him, buried his head in his chest, and hot tears penetrated his clothes and soaked into his chest.

Xu Zhengyan's heart trembled, and he slowly stretched out his hand to hug her, as if holding a lost treasure, and said, "Su Ruo, don't cry, don't cry." ”

"Why?" Su Ruo's voice was a little hoarse, and he said sullenly, "Why you?" "Why does she like him, and why does he have a wife?

Xu Zhengyan removed her head buried in his arms, raised her head to face herself, her eyes were still filled with tears, frightened and happy eyes, he couldn't control it anymore, kissed her heavily, and finally held her in his arms as he wished, her body was incredibly soft, just like his madness at the moment.

Su Ruo passively endured his enthusiasm, and after a long time, Xu Zhengyan let go of her lips, but still hugged her tightly, he put his head against her forehead, and said, "Su Ruo, you are here, it's good that you are here." ”

Su Ruo slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were still a little red, but he just asked, "Why?" ”

Xu Zhengyan asked her to look at herself, then pointed her finger at her heart, and said word by word: "You remember, there is only you here, Su Ruo." ”

"What about your wife? What about Madame? Su Ruo nodded slightly, and said in a muffled voice.

Xu Zhengyan was silent for a moment before he said, "This is not a cause for concern. Anyway, soon she will no longer be his wife, Fang Dingshan escaped from the battle, and now he has been arrested in a military court, and he can't escape the divorce after all.

Su Ruo's eyes darkened, isn't there anything to worry about? So how should she deal with herself?

"That's... What about the Overseer's daughter? ”

Su Ruo could clearly feel his body stiffen, Xu Zhengyan was silent for a long time, and then pressed her head into his arms again, and said, "Su Ruo, believe me, I will take care of this matter." ”

"Hmm."

Although Su Ruo responded, he didn't have any confidence in his heart, did he believe him? Should I believe that he can deal with Fang Qin, or should I believe that he can deal with Zeng Yue? As long as Su Ruo remembered the way he looked at Zeng Yue when he walked past her that day, she couldn't help but wonder what the relationship between him and Zeng Yue was?

Lover?

Or a childhood sweetheart from childhood to adulthood?

Su Ruo was lying in the bathtub, some hot water stimulated her skin, she looked up at the light brown marble ceiling above her head, the rosewood coat rack, and a faint fragrance of roses around her, and the familiar environment made her tense body slowly release.

She stared unblinking, seemingly lying peacefully, but there was an uproar in her heart. What did she do, tryst with Xu Zhengyan?

Is she on the same path as her mother? Su Ruo hugged his head in pain, Xu Zhengyan's appearance kept appearing in his mind, and then Fang Qin's gentle appearance appeared, why is this happening?

God will condemn her.

Su Ruo was lying in the bathtub in a daze, but she still remembered getting up, putting on a yukata for herself, and stumbling out of the bathroom. She was dizzy now, but her mind was unusually clear, and the lucidity made her miserable.

She stumbled and fell on the bed, but she suddenly laughed. Then she struggled to get up again, she remembered that she had put a bottle of brandy in the cupboard, which she had only managed to get from Shen Qiu's hand.

Su Ruo took out a wine glass and filled it with himself, the amber brandy looked a little dim in the dim light, and after a glass, Su Ruo only felt that his head was more dizzy, but he was still very awake.

After pouring herself several glasses of brandy in a row, Su Ruo felt as if her body was burning, she reached out and probed her forehead, it was a little hot, it didn't seem to be too good.

Su Ruo shook her head, she was still very dizzy, she lay on the bed for a while, when she closed her eyes, her brain was blank, she slept for a while, and then seemed to be sleeping unsteadily, and got up again.

"Knock knock."

"Knock knock."

Su Ruo had just taken two steps, and vaguely seemed to hear someone knocking on the door, she squinted her eyes, listened carefully, and there was no more. She smiled self-deprecatingly, it seemed that she was very drunk, and she had only taken two more steps, and there was another knock at the door.

She scratched her hair, walked over and opened the door with some impatience, and turned several times before opening the door with her handle, but she threw herself out because of the drunkenness that caused her steps to be vain. Unexpectedly, he didn't have a close contact with the earth, but was caught by someone.

"It's your own embrace."

There was a laugh from the top of his head, Su Ruo turned his head and saw a face with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his face was like a crown of jade, and he immediately smirked and said, "You are so good-looking." ”

Xu Zhengting was a little crying and laughing, smelling the smell of wine all over his body, could this be a stupid drink?

"Who do you see who I am?"

Su Ruo got up from him, tilted his head to look at him, thought for a while, and then smiled: "You... You're Romeo! ”

Xu Zhengting bent down, answered a few "yes", and then pushed her into the room with a smile, she was still wearing a bathrobe, standing at the door and being coveted, he would go crazy.

Su Ruo stared at him vigorously and asked suspiciously, "Romeo, why didn't you wear the prince's clothes?" ”

Seeing her like this, Xu Zhengting's eyes darkened, he reached out and rubbed her head, and said with a smile: "I'm Romeo, so what are you?" Miss Juliet? ”
