Ming Lanruo didn't say anything and just said calmly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for telling me His Majesty's secret order. You can have tea. As long as you promise not to actively cooperate to harm my father, there is no need to worry about other things."
Shangguan Hongye looked at the cup of tea in his hand for a long time, and finally drank it in one gulp.
He smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly: "Okay, I promise you. Although this goes against my father, I don't know why I care about you so much now. I probably owed you something in my previous life."
Ming Lanruo was stunned and suddenly raised her eyes to look at him.
"You have a good rest and take good care of and protect the Duke." Shangguan Hongye put down his cup and said calmly.
It is undeniable that although he would not take the initiative to harm Duke Ming Guo, he did have the idea of using this incident to make Ming Lanruo truly become his.
But so what?
He admitted that he seemed to be in love with Ming Lanruo.
Although she seems to no longer like him, she is still his legitimate wife, which is his biggest advantage.
He didn't force her. This woman was actually very stubborn, so she could only take her chances slowly.
After that, he stood up, turned around and left simply.
Watching Shangguan Hongye leave, Ming Lanruo looked at the cup he finished drinking with some complicated emotions.
People can be quite mean sometimes. If they are nice to you, you will trample on the other person's sincerity without caring. If they are unintentional to you, you will rush over them.
She and Shangguan Hongye both made the same mistake in the past.
Fortunately...
"Ignore what he said." Cang Qiao's cold voice sounded behind her, and he reached out to hold her slender shoulders.
Ming Lanruo put her backhand on the back of his hand. She could feel that he was suppressing certain emotions. She said lightly: "Yeah."
Fortunately...
Although there are many obstacles, she has been given the opportunity to correct her mistakes in this life.
The person behind you is cunning, domineering, ruthless, selfish, even possessive and pathological...with all kinds of shortcomings.
But what she values has always been his obsession and tenderness that he refuses to give up on her.
He has a tiger in his heart and smells the roses carefully. He is also trying hard to learn to love her in a way that she can accept.
And of course...
"Ruoruo, am I really...a little old?" the person behind him suddenly asked, his voice a little ethereal, as if he was teasing.
Ming Lanruo turned her eyes and looked at him. Perhaps she had just used her inner strength to unblock her father's meridians. His brows were a little tired.
"Let me take a look." She suddenly stood up, turned around and came slightly closer to him, stretched out her hand and pulled down the tassel of his gorgeous hat, asking him to lower his head.
Cang Qiao lowered her head and looked at her quietly with a pair of faint phoenix eyes, which was actually a little obscure.
She looked at him carefully, from his delicate eyebrows to his nose bones to his lips, and suddenly smiled: "Tsk, this is not something the governor would say, let alone..."
She paused, then suddenly held his face, raised her head and kissed his thin red lips gently, teasing——
"The governor is as beautiful as a flower. He is in his prime. When this flower blooms at its peak, how can he be old? Besides, didn't the governor just inhale a lot of energy last night to nourish his mind and beauty?"
And of course...
He is as fragile and fragile as glass that occasionally shows up.
Why are you worried about falling out of favor? Even this look is very provocative.
Tsk...
Whether it's true or not, she likes it very much. This chapter has been completed!
