Xiao Lingyue said: "There are so many reasons in this world. Not everything can be explained with reason."
Chu Yuanqi said: "I only know that black is black and white is white. I can't do it like they do, and I can't just watch it!"
Having said that.
But in Chu Yuanqi's heart, there was a voice questioning him.
Is it because of justice that you can't do it, or just because... the person being criticized is "Shen Wan"?
If someone else was being slandered and belittled today, would you really stand up with such hatred?
...
Chu Yuanqi felt that he could not answer, so he suppressed his thoughts and looked at Xiao Lingyue intently.
Xiao Lingyue didn't notice his eyes.
Because she remembered something and couldn't help but laugh: "Little Marquis, you are such a good person."
Chu Yuanqi: "..."
"I remember when you came to me angrily to break off the engagement at Xiangguo Temple, I just said a few words to you, and you felt a little guilty towards me."
Xiao Lingyue said funny: "It was obviously because of me that you were ridiculed in the capital. It was natural for you to be angry and want to break off the engagement. But in the end, you felt guilty towards me... At that time, I I'm thinking, you are really a kind and kind person."
At first glance, it seems that he grew up pampered by his family, has a bright mind, is magnanimous and soft-hearted.
Xiao Lingyue didn't hate such people.
Chu Yuanqi said awkwardly: "It's better not to mention this matter. At that time, I also believed the rumors in the capital and thought you were in the same group as the Shen family, so I..."
Xiao Lingyue shook her head: "I didn't mean to blame you, and after knowing the true situation, you felt guilty towards me, didn't you?"
Chu Yuanqi touched his nose awkwardly and said nothing.
"Not everyone feels guilty when they do something wrong. What people are best at is covering up their mistakes, or even punishing them."
Xiao Lingyue smiled and said, "That's why I said you are a good person."
Chu Yuanqi was a little helpless: "I don't know whether you are praising me or derogating me when you say this..."
He always felt that this "good man" was different from what he thought.
"Of course I'm complimenting you." Xiao Lingyue raised her eyebrows and then said seriously, "That's why I don't want you to have grudges with other people because of me. It's unnecessary."
Chu Yuanqi immediately frowned: "I'm not afraid of them..."
Xiao Lingyue interrupted: "It's not a matter of fear or not, it's not necessary. It's not good for you to do this, it will only cause unnecessary trouble."
"Am I speaking for you to seek benefits?" Chu Yuanqi frowned tightly, feeling a little uncomfortable, "Is this what you think?"
Xiao Lingyue did not answer the question. She only said: "But it's not necessary, isn't it?"
Chu Yuanqi said: "I don't think so!"
Why is it not necessary?
He felt it was necessary.
It's one thing that she doesn't care, but it's another thing that he doesn't want to hear others slander her and say something bad about her.
Xiao Lingyue frowned slightly: "This is my business and has nothing to do with you. Chu Yuanqi, there is no need for you to get involved."
Chu Yuanqi felt even more uncomfortable and was about to speak.
Xiao Lingyue added: "Besides, you have no reason to help me at all."
Chu Yuanqi: "..."
He was choked immediately, as if something had stabbed him in the heart. After a moment of silence, he said: "Why do I have no reason? Didn't you say that, even if we break off the engagement, will we still be friends in the future?"
