Chapter 217 It’s true that men are the most accurate in judging men.
"Sorry, I can't accept it."
She was generous and polite. She was clearly right in front of him, but she seemed to be separated by mountains and rivers.
The moment Jin Yan ran toward Jin Ran, he seemed to have seen a girl with a glow that made him feel envious and inferior.
What Chang Zhe didn't want to admit was that he did feel inferior.
When he was in Qinggan Village, he was still a hunter who could support her. She needed to rely on him to survive. He had the patience to wait for her to accept him little by little.
When he was in Fengshou Town, for the sake of his career and the future, he did not take her away as soon as he regained his memory. Now this is what he regrets most.
On the way back to the capital, he did not clarify his relationship with Yu Lian, and did not even realize her alienation and distrust of him. At that time, he thought that Jin Yan was destined to be his woman, so he disappeared
The initial patience.
After returning to the capital, she began to attract attention, which made him very satisfied.
At the same time, Yu Lian's experience made him feel compassion.
Mother was right. For a smart person like Yan Yan, how could she not know if anyone was sincere to her?
Chang Zhe knew it now, but it was already too late.
He lowered his arms, the fingers holding the brocade box were turning white, and there was a helpless smile on his lips, "It's just a gift, aren't you willing to accept it from me?"
Jin Yan shook her head and said with a calm expression, "If it's a New Year's gift, General Chang has already given it to me, and I've given it back, but on Lantern Festival, there's really no reason for you to give me a gift."
She spoke calmly and clearly, without leaving any room for his imagination.
Chang Zhe's face hurt, and he said helplessly, "Okay, then I won't give it away."
"I did something wrong before, I'm sorry."
His voice was heavy and muffled, and Jinyan knew that this was Chang Zhe's limit.
She looked up at the man in the light and shadow. The eyes on his face were dark and his brows were furrowed. It seemed as if his whole body was focused on her.
At first glance, it does look affectionate.
If he could be like this in his previous life, that would be great.
Maybe she won't suffer those things.
That's not right... maybe it's still an abyss.
Forget it, don’t think about it anymore.
Jin Yan chuckled softly, and when the wind blew, her ink hair flew, and her face, which was no bigger than a palm, was dyed with soft light.
Her voice remained calm and controlled.
"General Chang was joking. The past is in the past. There is nothing to apologize for."
"You still can't forgive me?"
He asked reluctantly.
Jin Yan was stunned, "The general and I met by chance. Fortunately, the general rescued me when we first met. Later, the general also helped me out of trouble. Logically speaking, I should owe the general. What the general did later was...
Think of it as repaying your kindness."
The stubbornness in Chang Zhe's eyes had not receded yet, and he asked urgently, "If, I mean if I took you away from the Li family when we were in Fengshou Town, and after returning to the capital, there was no wavering between you and Yu Lian, we
Isn’t it going to be like this?”
"There are no ifs in the world. Things that have happened will not happen again. I hope the general will look forward."
After saying that, Jin Yan resigned and left without any nostalgia.
Chang Zhe chased her back and said, "I'm going to the border, and my mother also wants to go back to Fengshou Town. If you have time, can you say goodbye to her? Don't worry, if you don't want to see me, I won't."
Jin Yan paused and did not look back.
There was a click.
Chang Zhe finally cracked the brocade box in his hand, and suddenly relaxed a little as if he was awakened from a dream.
Jin Yan got on the carriage. Facing the worries of Jin Ran and Xia Qingzhi, she smiled and said, "General Chang just came to say goodbye to me."
"Humph, he still has the nerve to come see you."
Jinran said angrily.
Jin Yan glanced at him and said, "Why does the second brother say such things?"
"I have already asked the prince, forget it when he lost his memory. After regaining his memory, he knew that he was engaged, and it is not the behavior of a gentleman to ask you out. After returning to the capital, he flirted with Yu Lian again. Fortunately, you
She is the princess of Prince Jin's Mansion. If you were still a village woman from Qinggeng Village, he would not let you go so easily, nor would he treat you so seriously."
His words made Jinyan's heart skip a beat. It's true that men are the most accurate in judging men. She didn't expect that the usually carefree second brother would have such a careful side.
"It's all over now, let's not talk about this."
"I don't want to argue with him about this. If I really do, he can only live with it."
Jin Ran hummed, and the anger flashed out of his eyes.
She didn't care because Chang Zhe had indeed taken care of her. Otherwise...how could Prince Jin's Mansion be so willing to let it go?
The carriage stopped when the group arrived at the downtown area. Jin Ran straightened Jin Yan's cloak and took a closer look to make sure she would not be blown by the wind.
Xia Qingzhi just pursed her lips and smiled, and called the other sisters in the house to come forward quickly.
The Lantern Festival was rarely lively, the other four ladies in the house all came, and several of them came forward to see Li.
Jin Ran waved his hand, not daring to take another look. He was afraid that if Jin Yan said something about his sister again, he would get a headache.
Jin Yan didn't know what he was thinking, so she just smiled and told them to pay attention to their safety in large numbers, and asked the servants following her to keep an eye on them so as not to cause any problems.
"Yan Yan, then I will take them to play."
Xia Qingzhi said with a smile, seeing that Jin Ran was impatient and did not dare to delay.
On the way, Xia Qingzhi told them that they wanted to put out river lanterns.
Jinyan's mind was not on that.
So we agreed to separate the two routes.
Jin Yan untied Jin Ran's money bag, opened it, took a look at it, took out a banknote and handed it to Xia Qingzhi.
"Second brother bought this jewelry for you, keep it."
The corners of Jin Ran's mouth twitched, he opened and closed his mouth, and simply shut up.
"Thank you, Second Young Master."
Xia Qingzhi hurriedly thanked him, and the remaining people also thanked him one after another.
Jinran turned away and snorted, "I just want to thank the princess. I don't want to be told by her in the future that there is no younger sister."
"Yes, thank you very much, Princess."
Xia Qingzhi was always admonished and was already aware of Jinran's arrogant temperament.
Jin Yan was thinking about winning a good lantern and going back, so she casually agreed, grabbed Jin Ran's hand and left.
By the time we arrived at the lantern riddle guessing area, there were already crowds of people around.
Jin Ran finally squeezed his way through and took Jin Yan in with him. The dazzling lanterns and lantern riddles were simply dazzling.
"Second brother, that..."
Jinyan pointed to the highest one, which was a plain white lotus lantern with colorful tassels hanging from it, fluttering in the wind. It looked simple but the lines on the petals could be clearly seen. In this colorful place,
It is unique in its coldness and solitude.
The shopkeeper stood on the stage and glanced at Jin Yan and Jin Ran. Then he followed her hand and his eyes immediately flashed with joy.
