Xiao Lingyue turned her head when she heard the words, and when she saw the person clearly, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Little Marquis? What are you..."
Uncle Zhou's eyebrows jumped, and he turned his head and saw Chu Yuanqi hurriedly running from the other side of the street. His head was covered with hot sweat, and his clothes were soaked with sweat. He didn't know how long he had been looking for him.
The smile on Uncle Zhou's face almost couldn't be held back.
Didn't this little Marquis just walk past? Why did he come back again?
Are you really here for Miss Shen?
Don't wait for Uncle Zhou to react.
After searching for a long time, Chu Yuanqi finally found Xiao Lingyue and immediately ran towards her: "Shen Wan, so you are here. I have been looking for you for a long time..." He almost thought he had missed it.
Xiao Lingyue looked at him in confusion: "Young Master, do you want to see me for something?"
Chu Yuanqi suddenly choked: "I..."
He didn't know what to say for a moment.
Uncle Zhou smiled and interjected: "Didn't the young marquis accompany Mrs. Chu to buy clothes? Why are you sweating so much? Please wipe it off quickly." After speaking, Uncle Zhou took out a handkerchief and handed it to him.
Chu Yuanqi awkwardly reached out and took it before he could say thanks.
Uncle Zhou asked casually: "Young Lord, did you come here specifically to see Miss Shen?"
Chu Yuanqi: "Uh... yes..."
Uncle Zhou smiled even more politely: "Is there something urgent, Mr. Marquis? I'm sorry, it's rare for Miss Shen to take the young prince and young master out to relax today. If there is nothing important, I don't want anyone to disturb you. "
This was said very politely and euphemistically, but the meaning behind the words was obvious.
But I didn't expect it.
But Chu Yuanqi suddenly grasped the key point: "Relaxing?"
He couldn't help but look at Xiao Lingyue and asked: "Aren't you happy living in Prince Yi's Mansion? Someone is making things difficult for you? Why do you have to come out to relax?"
Uncle Zhou: "..."
Misstep.
This guy is pretty sharp.
Xiao Lingyue felt that Chu Yuanqi's question was a bit strange, but she didn't think much about it.
She said politely: "No, I'm just bored at home. Taking advantage of the nice weather today, I took the two children out for a walk. What about you, little Marquis? Why didn't you accompany Mrs. Chu and came out alone?"
"That's it..." Chu Yuanqi was a little disappointed for some reason after hearing the first half of her words. He subconsciously said, "I have something to tell you."
Xiao Lingyue asked: "What's the matter?"
"..." Chu Yuanqi choked again.
He looked at Uncle Zhou next to him, who was looking at him eagerly, and then at the two children who were following Xiao Lingyue. They were holding candy figures in their hands and looking up at him.
Chu Yuanqi's face heated up and he said awkwardly: "I'm afraid it's not convenient here. Can you take a step to talk?"
Uncle Zhou frowned.
Xiao Lingyue was also stunned for a moment, and said apologetically: "I'm afraid not. I just promised the two children to take them to make clay figurines. Is the little Marquis' matter urgent? If not, can we talk about it later?"
She had a good impression of Chu Yuanqi, and the last breakup of the engagement was resolved peacefully without any conflicts.
In Xiao Lingyue's heart, she didn't take the engagement seriously at all.
Chu Yuanqi probably did the same.
So for the two of them, breaking off the engagement was just a normal matter, because they didn't care about each other, and they had no grudges. Naturally, they wouldn't end up having no contact with each other just because they broke off the engagement.
On the contrary.
Without the embarrassment of an engagement, getting along with each other might become more natural.
