Chapter 75: Meeting
Then he began to order the maid to dress and dress for him.
I don’t know why I was a little nervous, when I was in Yangzhou.
She also saw that Kou Zhong did have some interest in her, but she didn't take him seriously at all.
After all, with her life experience, there were so many people who proposed marriage, but she didn't remember any of them, let alone a commoner like Koo Zhong who had never even heard of her name.
Thinking back to that time, maybe I was a little tempted.
But that was not enough to make her give up Chai Shao. It was a marriage decided by the family, and it would be of no harm to the Li family's future power in the struggle for hegemony. Being in the royal family, she often had no choice but to do so.
"Miss, would you like to wear this orange one today?" The maid took out a rather elegant plain dress from the closet, but the belt around the waist was quite distinctive. A lot of life. However, Li Xiuning didn't want to wear this long dress today. I still prefer the neat outfit.
"No, put on that white one for me." Li Xiuning pointed to a pair of plain white men's clothes on the wardrobe. Just like Shang Xiuxun, she prefers the heroic appearance of a man to the exquisiteness of his daughter's costume.
Clean and neat, this suits my personality.
Wearing the right clothes is more important than wearing expensive clothes!
Behind the rockery, Kou Zhong had arrived early. He was pacing nervously. Today he is wearing clothes that Xu Ziling matched for him. Generally speaking, he looks like a modest gentleman.
He had already told Xu Ziling that such an outfit was not suitable for him, which made him even more nervous.
I felt uncomfortable all over, as if I had stolen someone else's clothes, and I felt uncomfortable walking.
In addition, I was already nervous, so I didn't know what to say when I saw Li Xiuning later.
While he was nervous, Li Xiuning had already arrived. "When did you arrive?" It's strange that she was already half an hour early and she was still able to get in with Gao Zhong. So when did he start waiting here?
Li Xiuning looked at Kou Zhong with a smile on his face, but the latter stammered and couldn't say anything for a moment. Idiot, Kou Zhong, please speak up. Why are you nervous? Li Xiuning is not nervous!
Kou Zhong had already slapped himself several times in his heart, but his mouth seemed to be sewn shut. He couldn't say anything for a while and just stared at Li Xiuning blankly.
Seeing this, Li Xiuning moved behind him and said softly: "Second brother misses you very much and is often unhappy because you are unwilling to let him conquer the world. It's great to see you again now. She saw Seeing Kou Zhong's appearance, he felt a lot more relaxed and spoke first.
Kou Zhong felt the fragrance of Li Xiuning's breath drifting gently to his nose when he spoke. He smiled bitterly and shook his head. He moved to the edge of the pool and stared blankly at the moving scene in the courtyard under the sunshine, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.
He has learned a lot now, but he can't go back to the old days. If I had had the courage to express my feelings to Li Xiuning at that time, maybe I would have had a chance?
But maybe it's his poor self-esteem that's causing trouble. In the end, I still didn't say anything, and I missed the opportunity in vain. Now I must have regrets, but I probably don't have the chance.
"Are you married?" Although he already had the answer in his heart, he still asked without giving up. Later, I thought that I was really stupid. What if I got married? What would I do if I wasn't married? What could I promise her? They were people from two different worlds. That was a fact that was destined from the beginning. There was no way to change it. There is no way to change it.
Li Xiuning smiled bitterly with unknown meaning, "Not yet, but it's almost like getting married. Chai Shao and I are already engaged." As she said that, her eyes suddenly didn't dare to look directly at Kou Zhong for some reason. What was she guilty of? ! Li Xiuning was shocked. This was her own business and she didn't need to explain it to anyone. But why did she feel sorry for him in her heart?
Maybe it was because when she met Kou Zhong again this time, he not only became a majestic and handsome man, but what touched her heartstrings the most was his indescribable temperament.
Maybe it was because of this that he panicked, Li Xiuning comforted himself in his heart.
After hearing Li Xiuning's answer, Kou Zhong suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled. Smiling a little miserably, he turned around and said: "Okay! Just treat you as someone else's wife. You may find it difficult to understand, but in fact I am very happy with this answer. Because it will allow me to focus on myself without any distractions in the future. Fight for your ideals.”
Kou Zhong seemed to have made up his mind to say something to Li Xiuning that was against his conscience. It's a good idea to take this opportunity to break off the connection between the two, otherwise there will be continuous disconnection in the future. The affair between children is a trivial matter after all. My ambition has never been this, but despite this, my heart still hurts like a knife.
Li Xiuning had never seen such a side of Kou Zhong. For a moment, he felt that he had changed from the street gangster he had seen before, and he actually recognized him in his heart. However, the matter between her and Chai Shao was a foregone conclusion, and she did not want to change it or change it. Just like that, many things will soon disappear with the wind, and the rest will be just thoughts.
Suddenly, Kou Zhong seemed to have changed into a different person, staring at Li Xiuning gently: "I'm sorry to scare Miss Li. Just treat what I said just now as if I never said it. I think I was overthinking it." He smiled slightly. His first love, which had never started, ended inexplicably. He was really unwilling to accept it.
"You..." Li Xiuning
couldn't say anything for a while, just staring at Kou Zhong blankly. There was an inexplicable emotion beating in his heart, as if it was urging him to do something, but it was not very clear.
The story hadn't started yet, but it was about to end. To be honest, Kou Zhong felt lost. ..
