She tried to grab his hand on the table, but when she moved that way, Chen Liu raised his hand and opened the next letter.
Gao Ying's hand suddenly fell into vain.
It was like the feelings that she had been trying to catch, but seeing them so close, I really thought that if she just worked harder and used enough force, she would be able to reach them.
But in fact, that person never gave her a chance, had no idea of accepting her, and had no intention of holding her hand.
The breath that he had been holding on forcibly released suddenly.
The emotions that she had finally calmed down began to surge again, and tears fell uncontrollably. She looked at the man in front of her, and her tone added a bit of humility that she was not even aware of.
"Runyu, I have nothing now. I am no longer the high-ranking eldest lady of the Gao family. I have no aunt to be a noble concubine, and no cousin to compete for the throne.
Look at me, I am just an ordinary woman now, and I will never use my natal family to oppress you in the future. We...we are equal, why are you still unwilling to look at me more?"
She seemed to be trying her best to control her voice, but she still couldn't hide the trembling in her voice.
Chen Liu's eyes finally moved away from the letter and fell on her face.
The Gao Ying in front of her was completely different from before. Even though Chen Liu saw her every day, he had never seen her like this before.
She was haggard and fragile, with no makeup on her face, and her clothes were very plain. She looked like a faded beauty.
Only those eyes were still shining.
But in the past, the light was bright, but now, the light is the glimmer of tears.
He was silent for a while, and then he said: "Don't worry too much, that's just my temperament."
"No!" Gao Ying reached out and took away the things in his hand, staring at him firmly, "No! You are just doing this to me. I know that you hate me in your heart and are not willing to marry me. This
Marriage is full of humiliation for you.
Can I apologize to you? Runyu, I only have you now. Although you have never regarded me as your wife, in my eyes, you are my Gao Ying's husband!
The only person I can rely on in this life is you. In the past, it was because of the Gao family, so it was fine if you didn't want to, but now... now I am just your wife."
She was sincere, but the man opposite him just frowned slightly, looking at her with a somewhat complicated look in his eyes.
Gao Ying stretched out her hand towards him cautiously, "Can you give me a chance? Let's start over! I...I'm actually not that bad!
Look at me, I can be your wife. I have studied, I know some principles, I have some knowledge, and I have some abilities in housekeeping and management. The most important thing is..."
Gao Ying sniffed, "The most important thing is that no one in this world will care about you as much as I do and will always put you first. Runyu, I will work hard. If you think
What's wrong with me can be changed!"
Chen Liu's eyes were a little vacant. He waited until she finished speaking and waited eagerly for him before he recovered his thoughts and his eyes were finally willing to fall on the woman in front of him.
"Gao Ying, you don't have to be like this."
He called out his name, and Gao Ying's eyes instantly lit up, but when he heard the following sentence, the corners of his lips that had just been raised a little immediately froze.
Sure enough, she immediately heard Chen Liu say in the calmest and gentlest tone: "Do you still remember what we said before we got married?"
These words were like a sudden attack, knocking her soul down hard.
How could she not remember that at that time, in order to make her get what she wanted, her father suppressed him everywhere in the officialdom and put the pressure on his family, his family members who worked hard in the countryside?
It was the first time that a man who had always been as gentle as jade took the initiative to approach her unruly, and it was also the first time that he uncontrollably asked her what she wanted in front of her.
Gao Ying didn't hide anything and read out the answer according to her heart. She just wanted to marry him.
"Even if you know that I don't like you, do you still want to marry me?"
She also clearly remembers her answer, "You will like me. As long as I marry you, sooner or later, you will like me."
This is her self-confidence, the self-confidence she has cultivated since childhood, and the self-confidence brought to her by her good family background.
So she never even thought that Chen Liu would still treat her like this after getting married.
But after she said those words, she saw the sudden twilight energy on Chen Liu's body.
It's "twilight".
That was her most intuitive feeling at the time.
Then he seemed to have no strength and said: "If this is what you insist on, then I seem to have no way to resist."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Gao Ying immediately stopped in front of him and said with a very confident smile: "Don't worry, I know that my temper is a bit arrogant, but after I get married, I will change it and learn from others."
I will try to be a good wife and mother to you, and I swear, I will never bully you."
But after she made such a vow, she didn't see the other party being moved at all. On the contrary, the words that came out of his mouth were very cold, "You are asking me to marry you, so I hope you can do what you say."
Yes, I’m just asking for this one thing.”
She readily agreed at the time, thinking that as long as she got married to him, there would be no more obstacles between the two of them.
It wasn't until they got married that she understood what that sentence meant.
He didn't want to touch her or have any intimate behavior with her. Everything was as cold as the snow on the day they got married.
Sure enough, she heard Chen Liu speak again, "Gao Ying, we agreed at that time that we were just going to get married. I promised you, and you shouldn't break your promise."
She opened her mouth slightly and couldn't say anything for a while.
Chen Liu once again picked up the letter that she had just taken away, and then stood up, "I know that the Gao family has become more difficult, and you can rest assured that I am not that treacherous person.
Since I agreed to marry you at that time, you are my wife, and this will always be valid as long as you don't regret it."
Seeing that he was about to go out, Gao Ying spoke again, "So, do you plan to keep me like this for the rest of your life?"
She also stood up and stood behind him.
Chen Liu didn't look back, just stopped, "Nothing in the world is perfect. Only by not being demanding on many things can you let yourself go."
She was behind him and couldn't see his expression, but for some reason, she always felt that his words were not directed at her, "Then can you tell me who that person is?"
Gao Ying's eyes kept falling on Chen Liu's back. Sure enough, when she asked this question, she clearly saw her figure stiffen.
Even though she had been deceiving herself and even comforting herself that she was too catchy, she felt like a joke every time she faced his different reactions.
As usual, Chen Liu did not answer her, but walked out directly.
Thinking about it carefully, he was not even willing to lie to himself once.
The maid waited for a long time before coming in. Before she could speak, she saw her going to the clean room by herself, "Come and help me wash up! The uncle was fished out by the fourth prince. Due to emotions and reasons, I should go to the fourth prince too."
