"How many such confidantes do you have in the world?" Ye Fan asked softly, "Don't you feel bad to see them so sad? They have put all their expectations in their lives on you, loving you and being in love with you.
You, you have failed them."
Lin Xichen was stunned for a moment and said doubtfully: "Love? If I said that I don't know what love is, would you believe it? - They looked pitiful, but they liked me at the time, and if I refused, they would live or die.
I told them that I couldn't marry them, and now they look really pitiful, but what can I do?"
Ye Fan glanced at Lin Xichen and sighed, "I'm afraid that one day you will be trapped by love and you will understand what love is. If one day Miss Du is so haggard, will you feel sad? She is your childhood sweetheart.
lover."
"Ruoxin?" Lin Xichen was stunned for a moment, and then said calmly, "Actually, I prefer to treat her as my sister. However, since she appeared, my mother has always wanted her to be my wife, so she will be treated as my wife."
She is the wife of choice."
Ye Fan raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "It's really strange that you, a majestic martial artist, don't know whether you love or not? You can't be so naive, can you?"
"Childish?" Lin Xichen smiled slightly, "This word is very fresh."
Ye Fan sat down at the table, looked at the sumptuous food on the table, and said with a smile: "You are too naive and childish. I don't believe that a twenty-three-year-old man in the world doesn't know what love is? And he never knows what love is.
Never loved anyone?"
Lin Xichen smiled helplessly, "That's true. There are so many dangers in the rivers and lakes. Where can there be pure people and things, just like the imperial court? Did your father ever say that the imperial court is as clean as water?"
Ye Fan shook his head and said with a smile: "These things are really boring, not as cute as the food in front of me. Although I ate some grilled fish by the river, I am still hungry. I don't want to listen to any more questions, I want to eat well."
.”
Lin Xichen suddenly felt very warm. For some reason, looking at the delicate and cute little woman in front of her, with her childish face and calm temperament, she felt at ease.
Shang Xiuli couldn't eat at all. She looked at the table full of delicacies, but she had no appetite at all. She stared blankly at Ye Fan happily eating, and couldn't understand why this woman was in such a good mood? Her own existence
Does it really have no impact on her at all?
"Does my presence really not affect your mood at all?" Shang Xiuli couldn't help it anymore, "Are you really so sure about Xichen?"
"I'm eating, I don't want to think about these meaningless questions." Ye Fan said lightly, flashing back to his modern self in his mind. At that time, he just didn't know the taste of food, couldn't swallow anything, and everything he ate was as tasteless as chewing wax.
Boring. "I'm not a god. I can't predict what will happen in the future. I can only grasp the present, that is, eating. I want to eat without having a full stomach. Lin Xichen is a living person. You, me, or anyone else
No one can be sure of him. So, I don’t want to think about it.”
"But you are his wife. Are you really not angry when you see your husband has another woman?" Shang Xiuli asked insistently.
Ye Fan glanced at Shang Xiuli and felt a little strange. In this era, which woman would care about three wives and four concubines? It is normal for a man to have several women in this era. Why does she care so much?
"I am his wife, but not his only one." Ye Fan said flatly, "He has Miss Du, and I am just a temporary wife. If he chooses a woman to accompany him for the rest of his life, it will definitely not be me.
"
"But, I must make sure that I am the only one in his heart." Shang Xiuli refused to give up and said resolutely, "Even if he gets married and has a wife, I can still fight for it until he only has me in his heart.
.”
Ye Fan sighed and said nonchalantly: "If you insist on doing this, that's up to you, but it has nothing to do with me, you have to discuss it with him. - I'm full, go for a walk in the yard, look at the scenery, digest and eat
Take your time and eat the food. I'll wait for you in the car."
When it got dark, a group of people arrived at a quite prosperous town. The streets were hung with lanterns and crowded with people.
We chose a clean inn and stopped to rest for the night.
Lin Xichen chose to share a room with Ye Fan, which seemed normal. After all, they were now considered husband and wife. Except that they did not return to Aolin Villa for the wedding, she was already considered the married daughter of Prince Ye. In name, she was already married.
It's Lin Xichen's.
Ye Fan didn't want to rest in the same room as Lin Xichen, but seeing Shang Xiuli's unwilling expression, she really didn't want to cause trouble. With Lin Xichen here, she should be able to save a lot of unnecessary disputes, and even if something happened,
It can also be solved by Lin Xichen without bothering her to come forward.
After dinner, Ye Fan returned to his room.
Lin Xichen didn't even ask Xiaolian to follow. Originally, Prince Ye wanted Xiaolian to be Ye Fan's dowry girl. After all, she had taken care of Ye Fan since she was a child until now, so she should be more considerate. However, Lin Xichen said that Aolin Villa has many servants.
There is no need to bring another one, they will be arranged naturally when they arrive, but they were rejected. Ye Fan completely left Prince Ye’s Mansion alone to marry to Aolin Villa.
After washing up, Ye Fan spread out the mattress, changed out of his coat, and lay down on the bed to rest. He blew out the candles, and the moonlight shone quietly into the room like water.
Lin Xichen did not come in. Ye Fan did not find it strange. He guessed that Lin Xichen should be with Miss Shang at this time. There is nothing wrong with this. She does not love him, so she does not want to be his de facto wife. If a woman interferes with it
, it can also make her happy and quiet.
Nothing happened all night, Ye Fan slept until dawn.
The whole night, Lin Xichen did not show up or even say a word.
In the early morning, there was thick fog outside the window. After a simple breakfast, the group continued on their way. Lin Xichen looked tired, as if he had not slept all night.
Sitting in the carriage, Ye Fan quietly leaned against the thick cushions, wrapped in a warm cloak, and read a book contentedly. Lin Xichen was sitting opposite her, and she seemed not to notice.
"Did you sleep well last night?" Lin Xichen asked with a smile.
"Thank you, that's great. I had a good sleep." Ye Fan said calmly.
"Shang Xiuli didn't bother you, did she?" Lin Xichen asked with concern, "The guard said that she wandered outside your door several times last night, but never entered."
Ye Fan was stunned and asked subconsciously: "Hey, what you said is so strange. Weren't you with the monk girl last night? How could you not know what she was doing? If you were here, why would she come to my door?
Wandering around? Are you not in her room?——"
Lin Xichen smiled bitterly and said: "Am I so unbearable? Marry you, but sleep with another woman? Tell outsiders that you and I are in the same room, just to prevent Miss Shang from bothering you. If she refuses to give up easily,
Knowing that I am in your room, you will be a little worried. I went out for something last night and only hurried back this morning."
"Oh," Ye Fan was a little embarrassed and responded softly. No wonder he looked tired. What kept him up all night and so busy now? But he didn't say anything, and Ye Fan didn't continue to ask.
