The two were silent for a while. Weng Xiaohuan looked up at Chu Ling again and saw him standing beside her bed in a cold manner. He was as graceful as a dragon and tall and tall. All the beautiful words in the world could be applied to the man in front of him.
, and he is not only addictive, but also her savior.
Before he came in, she had thought about using ten times the dowry to force Chu Ling to be responsible for her, but now that she saw the alienation written all over his body, six words suddenly flashed in her mind: The melon that is forced is not sweet.
Perhaps it was because she had just been forced to do something, so she understood how bad it was to force others. How could someone who has been a victim bear to become a perpetrator again?
Weng Xiaohuan closed his eyes and spoke with difficulty, "Master, can you come over and give me a hug?"
Chu Ling frowned, and his eyes fell on Weng Xiaohuan's pale face. Seeing that her eyes were almost bloodshot from crying, he finally took a step forward and stretched out his hands to her.
Weng Xiaohuan was lifted up by Chu Ling and carried into his arms. This chest that she had dreamed of since she was a young girl finally belonged to her alone for a moment. She leaned quietly against Chu Ling's arms, greedily trying to keep it.
At this moment, the tighter she hugged her, the clearer she knew that only a borrowed embrace would make people so reluctant to leave.
After a moment, Weng Xiaohuan gently pushed Chu Ling away, lowered his head and said, "Thank you."
Chu Ling looked at her and suddenly felt that the girl in front of him was a little strange. She was no longer the carefree young lady of the Caobang before. Instead, she was sober and restrained, which was heartbreaking.
But it's a pity that pity is pity. He can't hurt his beloved just because he pities a girl, so no matter how much he sympathizes with Weng Xiaohuan's experience, all he can give her is a moment of hug.
"What are your plans next?" Chu Ling took the initiative: "Arun is actually quite sincere to you. If you marry him, you may not be happy."
When Chu Run was mentioned, Weng Xiaohuan tugged at his lips and smiled bitterly.
In fact, she is not a fool. It is easy to tell whether a person loves her or not. Chu Run is probably not as sincere to her as Chu Ling.
"If you are here to persuade me to get ten times the dowry for the Chu family, then you have to give up on this idea." Weng Xiaohuan said bluntly: "I have already dragged down the Caogang too much, and I will never do it for myself again.
If you don’t love your man and pay a dowry instead, whether you or the Fourth Young Master, from now on it has nothing to do with me.”
Seeing her expressing her attitude, Chu Ling raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "Then I can only wish you well?"
Weng Xiaohuan looked at him and smiled, "I also wish you and the eldest mistress the same."
Chu Ling originally thought that she was just pretending to be calm. It was not until he heard her peaceful blessing that he was convinced that she had figured it out. While feeling relieved, he also felt a little bit disappointed. It seemed that no matter how hard he tried, he could never stop his fate.
As time went by, Chu Run's marriage to Weng Xiaohuan still failed, and he didn't know if it would affect his relationship with Shi Chunquin. He simply didn't dare to think about it anymore.
After visiting Weng Xiaohuan, the three of them got on the carriage back to Chu's house. Chu Ling and Shi Chunfen both tacitly remained silent. Only Chu Run looked at them repeatedly and couldn't help asking: "Just now Xiaohuan called you in."
What did you say?"
Chu Ling glanced at him and said with a half-smile, "What do you want her to say to me?"
Chu Run raised his eyebrows and said bluntly: "Of course it's about the ten-fold dowry. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a pity that the Caobang would just fly away like this?"
Seeing that he was talking about interests from beginning to end, rather than his relationship with Weng Xiaohuan, Shi Chunquin couldn't help but frowned, "Don't you think you would marry Xiaohuan without ten times the dowry?"
This question was asked so suddenly that the expression on Chu Run's face froze instantly.
Chu Ling looked at him, smiled happily, and put his arm around Shi Chunfen's shoulders, "Not only can't she do it, I'm afraid I wish she could marry me!"
Seeing that he exposed her dirty thoughts, Chu Run tugged her lips and nodded without concealment, "So what? Xiaohuan has always loved you anyway, I just helped her realize her dream."
Probably influenced by his natural look, Shi Chunfen turned his head and looked at Chu Ling, "What about you? Will you marry her?"
With the same sudden question, the smile on Chu Ling's lips instantly faded.
This time it was Chu Run's turn to gloat over his misfortune, "Yes, you guys have been chatting for so long, how can you not talk about this at all?"
Chu Run looked at him and said expressionlessly: "Then you can rest assured. Weng Xiaohuan said that he would not marry anyone from our Chu family, which made you give up."
Chu Run's expression froze, and he said nonchalantly: "That's good. It's better for her to reject me than for me to reject her."
Although this was the truth, looking at his nonchalant look, Shi Chunfen still felt worthless for Weng Xiaohuan, "Don't you have any feelings at all when she has been with you for so long?"
"Emotions?" Chu Run raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Then how much emotion do you have with your eldest cousin after you have been married for so long?"
The atmosphere inside the carriage suddenly solidified, so quiet that it was as if the only sound that could be heard was the turning of the wheels.
Chu Ling's face darkened, and his eyes swept towards Chu Run like knives, "What do you mean by this?"
"Literally." Probably because he had offended them, Chu Run simply refused to express his displeasure, "You two don't fall in love after you get married, so how can you ask me to love a woman who is not married yet?"
Chu Ling had a cold face and said nothing.
Shi Chun Equinox lowered his head, his face flushed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Not really in love...is it so obvious?
The three of them were silent all the way, and soon returned to Chu's house. Chu Ling asked Shi Chunfen to get off the carriage and go back to his room first, and blocked Chu Run at the door. "It's not your turn to interfere with the relationship between me and your hall sister-in-law."
Chu Run looked at the anger between his brows and tugged his lips in a funny way, "If love is really stronger than gold, how can you be afraid of others asking?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a fist blast swept over him.
Chu Ling punched him on the nose, and you could even hear the sound of his nose being broken, "I'm never afraid of being questioned by others, I'm just afraid of making villains worry about me."
Chu Run was beaten so hard that he covered his nose and squatted down. Blood flowed from his fingers and fell to the ground in drops.
Probably because the wound was too painful, he could no longer hear what Chu Ling said. He only knew that the servants guarding the gate screamed and quickly surrounded him, helping him to see the doctor.
He was dragged away stumblingly, and as he walked, he could vaguely see Chu Ling's figure. The man was tall and tall, standing in the sun, but he was shrouded in darkness, unable to break away or escape.
What he lost to Chu Ling was not just a direct descendant?
