Chen Ning closed her eyes, feeling overwhelmed with emotion.
He actually knew what kind of person she was, but he never wanted to face the fact that she was different from all other girls.
He always thought that Jing Ming was already his, and he could feel that she loved him.
And she loves herself very much, otherwise she wouldn't let him get close to her.
Therefore, he hoped that she might compromise for him, that she would change for him, just like other women who would eventually compromise.
But now I know it so clearly...
If he is in danger, she can help him, even sacrifice her life.
This is her righteousness and the emotion she can express.
But she will not wash her hands and make soup for him, nor will she be willing to bear children for him, unless one day she is interested in these herself.
But a person with Jing Ming's personality will probably never change his mind throughout his life.
Chen Ning closed her eyes, her handsome features filled with anger: "Maybe she and I were wrong from the beginning."
If he had no choice that night, he would be unwise if he got into trouble later.
She had never lied to him, he had been lying to himself.
Mr. Chen said calmly: "A wise man never falls in love. It's easy to say that, but we are all human beings, so how can we be rational in everything."
Twenty years ago, when he was in the army, he had made a lifelong commitment to a girl named Hongting.
She joined the army, was strong in skills, and refused to admit defeat. She was already deviant enough in the eyes of the world. According to some people's rules, such a girl was unruly and could not be married.
But he was willing to marry, and so was Hongting. However, a bloody storm more than 20 years ago completely separated her from him.
He even thought she was dead before marrying another man. Now that Chen Ning's mother has been gone for many years, he once again saw the girl he had longed for back then.
Over the past twenty years, her appearance has been ruined and she has been left alone due to the vicissitudes of life.
He wanted to take care of her, but Hongting didn't want to. She said she didn't want anything but revenge.
Therefore, he fully understands his son's mood of not being able to ask for anything, being resentful, greedy, angry and ignorant.
Mr. Chen looked at Chen Ning and sighed: "Ning'er, let it go, unless you can sacrifice yourself to fulfill her, but you can fulfill her for a while, can you fulfill her for a lifetime without complaining?"
The girl Chen Ning is in love with now can be called a daughter of Jianghu even more than Hongting.
That baby-faced little girl acted with a will to revenge, and her thoughts were shocking.
But his most outstanding son, at a young age, could make the older men in the army kneel down and admit defeat. He was a natural-born general.
You are not just a freeloader. Some of you have ambition, and some of you have means and abilities. How can you be willing to be the man behind a woman?
Mr. Chen shook his head: "You and Jing Ming may be destined to be colleagues who are willing to help each other at both sides. Now that the storm is about to arise, Chen Ning, if you are a man, you should no longer be constrained by the love between your children."
Chen Ning looked at the direction where Jing Ming disappeared in the distance, and his voice was cold and silent: "Yes, father, I understand."
Since they won't compromise for each other, then... they can only separate.
People say that there is love in the world.
But lovers in this world can survive the storms and life and death, but they probably can't survive the differences in their ideas.
From being deeply in love when we were young, to growing tired of each other, we can only suffer until we grow old.
now……
It may be the wisest and best decision for him and her to separate cleanly at the best time.
…
On this side, Ming Lanruo walked to the flower hall in the inner courtyard and saw Shangguan Hongye standing quietly in the flower hall.
She paused, stepped forward and bowed slightly, saying, "Your Highness, are you here looking for me? What's the matter?"
Shangguan Hongye turned around and looked at her, his face a little uncomfortable: "Where were you last night?"
Ming Lanruo sat down calmly: "I went to Dongchang."
Shangguan Hongye's expression was unpredictable. Was she even unwilling to lie to him?
He took a deep breath and suppressed the emotions in his heart: "You are still my king's concubine. Do you plan to let everyone know that you are having an affair with that shameless eunuch? Don't you want to live anymore!"
Ming Lanruo took the tea brought by Chun He and said calmly: "Isn't His Highness the only one who knows about my relationship with the Governor? If Your Highness doesn't tell me, who will know?"
"How can you say these shameless words with confidence? Have you never thought about my feelings?"
Shangguan Hongye suppressed his anger, but could not help clenching his fists.
Ming Lanruo smiled: "But Your Highness and His Highness the Crown Prince conspired to marry me forcibly, and they didn't feel shameless. Aren't you still very proud?"
Shangguan Hongye choked: "That's... that's..."
The smile on Ming Lanruo's face turned cold: "Your Highness, I thought that at least for now, you and I are still friends. I don't like the way you question me confidently even though you are clearly in the wrong."
Shangguan Hongye remained silent, friend?
He doesn't want to be her friend!
Shangguan Hongye waited for a while, then suddenly asked hoarsely: "Lan Ruo, if I didn't want to lie to you or use you at the beginning, if I really liked you at the beginning..."
Ming Lanruo raised her hand and gently stroked her hair, and said calmly: "Your Highness, there is no such thing as if in this world."
Shangguan Hongye looked at her quietly for a while and suddenly asked calmly: "Cang Qiao, how much do you know about the things he did to my father in the palace?"
Ming Lanruo paused in his movements. Is this the real purpose of his appearance here?
She raised her eyes and looked at Shangguan Hongye and said, "You should know a little bit about what you should know."
If Shangguan Hongye came here to ask her this question, he probably knew something, so there was no need to lie.
Shangguan Hongye closed his eyes, feeling as if his heart was being roasted by fire: "Sure enough, you... all know."
Ming Lanruo looked at the tall man in front of her and raised her eyebrows: "Why, His Highness King Qin is going to ask me why I didn't tell you, or is he going to ask me why I was so rebellious and saw Cang Qiao committing trouble?"
Shangguan Hongye smiled bitterly and said a little tiredly: "Do I still need to ask? My uncle and father want to kill you. Your temper is too strong to just burn down the palace and the Zhou family. It's not because you don't want to, but because you don't want to."
Can't do it."
Ming Lanruo smiled: "Well, Your Highness really understands me."
However, sooner or later, she will burn down the palace and the Zhou family.
Shangguan Hongye walked to her and sat down next to her. His voice was complex and hoarse: "It is our Shangguan family that feels sorry for you."
No matter it was in the past or now, it was his Shangguan family that owed her so much.
Ming Lanruo was a little surprised and raised her eyes to look at him: "What happened to His Highness King Qin today?"
Are you saying this all of a sudden for no reason?
Shangguan Hongye's sharp red phoenix eyes looked deeply at the girl in front of him: "I said that I wanted you to be the princess, and I also said that I would find a way to keep you, but I seem to have failed to do anything."
Ming Lanruo smiled slightly: "Your Highness, don't mind. I have never taken what you said to my heart or taken it seriously."
In his heart, the throne must come first, so how could he openly go against his uncle and father?
In the previous life, because of her existence at that time, the struggle between the prince and him intensified to the extreme.
He got the opportunity, struck first, and got rid of Emperor Ming who planned to imprison him.
But everything is different now. If Shangguan Hongye can succeed to the throne smoothly, why should he take the risk of confronting his father and uncle?
Shangguan Hongye had a complicated expression and smiled bitterly: "You are really... not merciless at all."
Ming Lanruo whispered: "It's better for you and me to be honest and honest."
Anyway, he will discover her 'true face' sooner or later.
To be fair, he has the talents of an emperor. Even the things he did to her in his previous life were just from a different standpoint.
And from the very beginning of this life, they have been on opposite sides.
Shangguan Hongye lowered his eyes and said softly: "Can I not be an enemy from now on?"
Ming Lanruo raised her eyes and looked at him: "Yes, can we not be enemies in the future?"
