Chapter 359: Caught in a dilemma
Luo Jinyu waved his hand lightly at Meng Haowen, "You go back first, I still need to think about this matter, and I also need to have a good chat with my wife, but don't worry, I already understand your thoughts, and besides, you can think about it yourself when you go back."
Watching Meng Haowen leave the study, he sat alone on the carved wooden chair in the study, contemplating with all his attention.
His eyes are deep and focused, as if trying to solve a complex mystery.
His brow is tightly knit, reflecting his inner contradictions and struggles, and he strokes his chin, which is a habitual action when he thinks, symbolizing his deep thinking and difficulty in decision-making.
Luo Jinyu's face did not have any expression, but his calm demeanor gave people a deep sense of calm and restraint, and his eyes flashed with wisdom.
His hand tapped lightly on the table, the rhythm of his thoughts, as if trying to find an answer.
His movements are graceful and powerful, as natural and fluid as a mountain stream, and his fingers are slender and powerful, which is enough to show the firmness and determination of his heart.
The air in the study seemed to be frozen by his silence and thoughts, and Luo Jinyu himself was like a quiet mountain, standing in the silence of the night.
His breathing was slow and deep, as if he was in a conversation with his own heart.
There was a unique glint in his eyes, an expression of determination and confidence.
Luo Jinyu took a deep breath and put the book in his hand on the desk.
He stood up and walked slowly to the door, each step appearing steady and powerful.
He paused as he reached the door of the study, then gently pushed the door open.
Sunlight poured into the study through the window and fell on his calm countenance. His gaze was deep and determined, as if he could see through everything.
He frowned slightly, thinking about his next move.
Then, straightening up, he walked out of the study.
His back looked lonely and firm in the sunlight, like a brave warrior, and behind him, the door to the study slowly closed.
Luo Jinyu left the study, pretending to be the secret that Meng Haowen had just told him.
He walked calmly and looked serious, knowing full well that this information could be of great significance to Shu Zhihan.
Walking through the corridor, he came to Shu Zhihan's room.
Knocking softly on the door, he heard her warm, slightly tired voice, "Please come in."
Pushing open the door, he saw her sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a book in her hand, but her eyes were a little confused.
Luo Jinyu walked over and called her softly, "Madam."
She raised her head and looked at him when she heard the sound, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Husband, why are you here?"
He sighed softly, his tone heavy and serious: "I have something to tell you, it's about Meng Haowen." Shu Zhihan immediately put down the book in his hand and looked at him intently, waiting for his next words.
Luo Jinyu took a deep breath and told her what Meng Haowen had told him.
He saw her eyes grow confused, then shocked, and finally sad.
"Meng Haowen told me that he wanted to ......," Luo Jinyu finished speaking, watching Shu Zhihan's reaction.
She was silent for a moment, then said softly, "He wants me to forgive Green Lotus, doesn't he?" Her voice trembled a little, but her eyes were firm and bright.
Luo Jinyu gently held her hand, giving her comfort and strength.
He knew that the news, while painful, was a reality she had to face.
Shu Zhihan quietly listened to Luo Jinyu tell the story of Meng Haowen and Green Lotus, and her face did not show a trace of emotional change.
Her eyes, like the water of a deep lake, were calm and deep, without a trace of waves.
Her hands rested quietly on her knees, and her white jade skin seemed to shimmer.
The corners of her mouth, with a subtle smile, is that curiosity about the story, or sympathy for the characters in the story? Nobody knows.
On her face, but it always stays
The calmness is like a quiet lake in the mountains, no matter how the lake surface fluctuates, the water at the bottom of the lake is still calm.
Shu Zhihan sighed softly, and then looked up at Luo Jinyu, her eyes flashing brightly, as if asking for more details.
However, she didn't ask, just expressed her thoughts with those bright eyes.
Luo Jinyu looked at Shu Zhihan and felt a trace of surprise in her heart.
Shu Zhihan's calmness and indifference made Luo Jinyu feel confused.
He didn't know if she was controlling her emotions or if she was really indifferent to the story.
Luo Jinyu sat quietly opposite, looking at Shu Zhihan deeply with her eyes.
There was a trace of unclear emotion on her face, whether it was joy or anger, worry or happiness, all of which were deeply attracted to him.
Like a cheetah, he stares at his prey in the dark, carefully searching for her mood.
Her face changed slightly, like a floating cloud skimming across the sky, soft and elusive.
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, then fell again, as if to tell some kind of inner contradiction.
Luo Jinyu's heartbeat began to accelerate, and he began to interpret her every expression and movement.
Her hands were clenched into fists, was it nervousness, was it anxiety, was it anger?
Her shoulders trembled slightly, as if she was suppressing some emotion, was it sadness, excitement, or fear?
He needed to read her thoughts from her expression, that was the only thing he could do.
Shu Zhihan's brows tightened, as if she was thinking about a difficult problem, and her eyes began to wander, as if she was looking for some kind of answer.
Her fingers unconsciously flicked the objects in her hands, a habitual action she had once been deeply obsessed with.
Luo Jinyu's heart began to ache, his hands clenched into fists, and his eyes were fixed on her.
He wanted to read her thoughts, he wanted to know how she felt.
Shu Zhihan suddenly raised her head and looked at him deeply with her eyes.
There are so many emotions in that glance, is it anger, disappointment, or sadness? Luo Jinyu couldn't tell the emotion in it.
But he knew he needed to face the look, he needed to face her emotions. He knew it was his responsibility.
On a sun-dappled afternoon, Shu Zhihan sat quietly on the swing in the garden, her eyes reflecting Luo Jinyu's figure.
Luo Jinyu walked over and sat on the wooden chair opposite her, he faced her, his deep eyes flashing with wisdom.
Shu Zhihan was the first to break the silence, and her voice revealed a seriousness and seriousness that she had never felt before: "Husband, what do you think of the matter between Meng Haowen and Green Lotus?"
Luo Jinyu's eyes flickered slightly, he pondered for a moment, and said in a deep tone: "Looking at this matter alone, Meng Haowen is not wrong, but what Lu He has done is also indelible."
Luo Jinyu's words were like a gust of wind blowing through Shu Zhihan's heart, it turned out that he had already thought of these things and understood his heart.
She looked at Luo Jinyu and understood in her heart that Meng Haowen's matter was also a big blow to him, although Meng Haowen was his subordinate, but he was more like a brother.
Luo Jinyu's heart was in turmoil at the moment, and Shu Zhihan's question made him at a loss for a while.
He stared at Shu Zhihan and saw her expectant eyes, and couldn't help but hesitate a little in his heart.
He understands that Shu Zhihan's question is not a simple inquiry, but involves his innermost emotional and moral choices.
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He knew he couldn't be too impulsive, he couldn't give an answer easily, he needed time to think, to clear his mind.
However, he didn't want to disappoint Shu Zhihan, and he didn't want her to think that he was a hesitant person.
So, as calm and firm as he could, he said, "Madame, your question is very difficult for me. I need time to think before I can give you a satisfactory answer."
After Shu Zhihan heard this, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes, but she also understood Luo Jinyu's difficulties.
She knew that this issue was a very serious issue for Luo Jinyu and needed to be seriously considered.
She also didn't want to force Luo Jinyu to make any decisions, because she didn't want him to feel stressed and troubled.
Luo Jinyu saw Shu Zhihan's expression, and felt a little guilty in her heart.
He knew that his answer didn't satisfy her, but he didn't want to lie or perfunctory her.
He wanted to give Shu Zhihan a real answer, an answer that he could convince himself.
He gently shook Shu Zhihan's hand and said gently, "Madam, I know you have high expectations for me, but I really need time to think. Please give me some time and I will give you a satisfactory answer."
Shu Zhihan felt Luo Jinyu's sincerity and determination, and she knew that he was not perfunctory.
The disappointment in her heart gradually dissipated, replaced by a kind of understanding and trust.
The atmosphere between the two gradually returned to calm.
They sat quietly together, enjoying each other's company and trust.
Luo Jinyu's heart was still full of doubts and thoughts.
He didn't know how he should answer Shu Zhihan's question, but he knew he needed to give a true answer.
He didn't want to disappoint Shu Zhihan, and he didn't want to disappoint himself.
He needed time to sort out his thoughts and emotions to find an answer that he could convince himself.
At this moment, Luo Jinyu's heart was full of worries, he was worried that Green Lotus would cause harm to Shu Zhihan again, and he was also worried about whether his ability was enough to protect her.
Luo Jinyu's hands were clenched, and his knuckles were white.
He struggled to control his emotions and tried to calm himself down.
He knew that now was not the time to let his emotions take control, and he had to make the right decisions.
He took a deep breath, then turned to Shu Zhihan, his eyes full of tenderness and firmness. He stroked her hand and said softly, "Madame, I understand how you feel. However, I will deal with the matter of Meng Haowen and Green Lotus. I'm not going to let you get hurt again."
Luo Jinyu's words made Shu Zhihan feel a little comforted.
She knew that at this time, she had to believe in Luo Jinyu.
