"An Ning, stop worrying about others. You can't force emotional matters. We can only help here. As for the rest of the way, they have to rely on themselves."

An Ning nodded.

"By the way, Fuyun has been handling state affairs with His Majesty during this period. Is it going smoothly?"

They haven't seen each other for a while, except Xie Nan, who has been in the palace every day to accompany the Ninth Princess.

Gu Qingzhao nodded, "She learns things very quickly and can master it in just one click. Don't worry, I'm here."

Also, how could a person recognized by Master Gu of her family be so bad?

And the other side.

A house in the western suburbs.

Ruan Qingcheng came here in despair. She had already made up her mind yesterday to say goodbye to Nie Yuan completely.

I didn’t expect what Xiang Gu just said...

Mr. Nie went through so many things when he was a child, and a tall, seven-foot-tall man suffered such humiliation.

Ruan Qingcheng's eyes were red, and she felt distressed.

At this time, a voice sounded from behind.

"Miss Ruan?"

Ruan Qingcheng froze, and after a moment she turned around with a smile.

Today, Nie Yuan had just returned from the Punishment Department, and the smell of blood hit his face.

Nie Yuan also knew it and took a step back.

Ruan Qingcheng took a step forward.

Nie Yuan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and there was a bit of disbelief in his eyes.

He thought that if we said goodbye yesterday, there would be no possibility of seeing each other again in the future.

Seeing the girl in front of him with red eyes, he said in a panic:

"Miss Ruan... Miss Ruan? What's wrong with you? But someone bullied you?"

Ruan Qingcheng did not reply to his words, but took another step forward.

Walked to him step by step.

Nie Yuan didn't dare to move at all because she was crying.

Ruan Qingcheng stretched out her hand and hugged him.

Nie Yuan was completely stiff.

"Me, Miss Ruan? I'm dirty, you..."

Ruan Qingcheng's tears moistened his clothes.

No! Ruan Qingcheng is wrong now!

Nie Yuan's body became stiffer and stiffer, and he closed his eyes.

He said resignedly: "Since Miss Ruan already knows, then stay away from Mr. Nie. Mr. Nie... doesn't need sympathy."

After hearing this, Ruan Qingcheng let go of her hand around his waist, looked at him with scarlet eyes, and asked firmly: "Sympathy? Nie Yuan, do you think I am sympathetic to you?"

Nie Yuan pulled her away and took a step back.

He lowered his voice, serious and a little angry.

"At least this is the case. Why did you come to me after you found out about this? Why did you hug me and cry after you found out about this?"

Ruan Qingcheng was so angry for the first time.

She yelled: "That's because you don't know every time I cry! It's hard for me to convince myself that I have no father or mother and am of low status, and you, Nie Yuan, have a great future, and I am not worthy of you.

But I know that you like me and I like you, so I told myself that no matter who I am, people who love each other can be together. But when I walked towards you step by step, I only saw me walking

No matter how many steps you take, how many steps you take back, I can't catch up with you!"

"It's because I spent countless days and nights thinking about why, but you didn't take a firm step toward me! You don't believe me, you don't believe me who knows the truth, or you don't believe yourself."

Ruan Qingcheng's voice gradually subsided, she lowered her head and whispered: "So now I know, it's you who don't believe in yourself, it's you who feel unworthy, not me who thinks I'm unworthy."

A tear fell straight from the corner of Ruan Qingcheng's eyes to the ground.

"I like you, Nie Yuan. The reasons why I stayed away from you yesterday were all wrong, so yesterday, the reasons why I stayed away from you became a joke. I like you, so I feel sorry for you, not to sympathize with you. I'm here to see you

You came to see you impatiently and without thinking, instead of pitying you after careful consideration. You were injured that day in the Punishment Department, and that was the only time I lied to Aning."

"You gave me a note saying that you were fine and asked me not to tell anyone. I was very happy that you specifically left me a message in order not to worry me. When you woke up that time, I asked you why

Dudu left me a message, and the look in your eyes at that time told me that I can walk into you."

Because you only have cold eyes on other people, but you are only gentle to me.

"So you have to be responsible for me. If it weren't for the way you look at me every time, if you could hard-heartedly persuade me to quit every time, maybe I wouldn't be able to get here."

Ruan Qingcheng looked at the man in front of her, trying her best to restrain her hands, but they were still trembling.

His eyes were tightly suppressed but still red. He turned his head as if he didn't want her to see him in such an embarrassing state.

"It was my fault."

How had he ever realized that the way he looked at her had changed inadvertently.

"It's my fault", he repeated again.

Ruan Qingcheng took another step forward, showed a smile, and said gently: "No, we may have made mistakes, but our encounter was never a mistake. Nie Yuan, no one's past is spotless, and so do I."

She once had a relationship with the prince because she wanted revenge.

It's just that this relationship has been cleared up now, and only a few people know their true relationship.

Nie Yuan turned around.

A seven-foot man doesn't shed tears, but he's not sad yet.

He didn't dare to retreat anymore.

"Qingcheng, do you know what it means to be with me?"

Ruan Qingcheng nodded.

"Knowing means that if others know about this matter, you may be stigmatized from now on, and your official position may not be guaranteed."

As a wife, she doesn't know how much she will be looked down upon by others.

"But... is it important? Do we still care about this? An Ning once said, live a life of freedom and freedom, pursue what you want in life, persevere, and have nothing to do with others."

Ruan Qingcheng held Nie Yuan's scarred hand.

"If you take a step towards me, no one will be an obstacle to us. Only if you no longer love us will we be completely separated. I have always been someone who doesn't like to talk about love, but now I clearly know that

Mr. Nie is a worthy person."

Nie Yuan thought that if one day someone treated him as a piece of trash as a treasure, and told him that his existence was meaningful and worthwhile every day.

Even if it means a life, he feels that it is too little.

Because originally, he didn't care.

He can marry Qin Xia, because in a few years, once his mother leaves, he will leave with her.

What does a person in rags do with his life?

It was only when he was in the Criminal Department that his dark body could legitimately serve as a protective color.

All the decay in his heart was fighting against this body shell.

Who dies, who lives.

If I hadn't met my husband and given him a hand, I would have continued to teach him conscience and taught him to stand up straight.
