Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 398 Why Give Up
The guards spontaneously guarded the corners and found a quiet place.

Xiao Huai still looked at him coolly.

He supported the cup and said: "I only realized after you told me that you are Xu Jing, so I have never noticed that you are different from ordinary people in all these years.

"In the end I came to the conclusion that it was all because you were putting on too much.

"I have slept with you for so many years, but I never knew that you have a fiancée who has been in love for more than ten years hidden in your heart, and I have never seen you have any special feelings for the former court and the Helian people.

"You seem ordinary to everything, except for your desire to compete for the status of the master of the carrier.

"If you don't do this palace, you will also have a not weak position status, and what's more, you have already been pushed into the court by him at this time.

"So I was secretly curious, why did you betray me back then in order to gain his trust, just to get the position in charge of the palace?"

His words are flat and slow, but every word catches the heart.

The setting sun made He Lanzhun's eyes very dark.

He sat down for a while, lowered his head and sipped his tea: "Remove the words "sleeping together in the same couch, don't forget that you and I have broken up our relationship, and I don't accept a broken relationship."

Xiao Huai's face turned cold.

He sneered: "It's useless to change the subject! If it wasn't for the fight that night, I wouldn't even know your martial arts are so good.

"So, what is your real purpose of hiding yourself all these years?
"What is your purpose of staying in Chengyun Hall?
"What made you restrain your affection for her, willing to give up without even robbing her?"

He Lanzhun rubbed the rim of the cup with his fingertips, only indifference remained in the corners of his eyes.

"Don't you know that I don't rob because I'm afraid she will be embarrassed?"

"This is just one of them." Xiao Huai said, "You have followed the prince since you were six years old, and she hadn't even appeared when you were fighting for the position of the palace master.

"What was your ambition before she appeared?"

The previously frivolous atmosphere gradually became stagnant at this moment, and He Lanzhun seemed to be in a trance.

And Xiao Huai looked at him, the spring breeze raised the branches and sleeves, only the two of them remained still.

"what are you guys saying?"

A familiar voiceless voice suddenly sounded from the veranda behind him.

Xiao Huai loosened his arms, and turned his head subconsciously.

Shen Xining, who had put on the cloak, walked over, looking at him suspiciously and slightly reproachfully.

Why did she seem to see him threatening He Lanzhun?And He Lanzhun could only remain silent under his stare?

"Nothing to say..."

Seeing her expression, Xiao Huai twitched the corners of his mouth tactfully.

Shen Xi's face was full of disbelief.

And He Lan raised his lips earnestly, and after taking a deep look at Xiao Huai, he sighed with her: "It's okay, I'm used to it anyway."

Xiao Huai rolled his eyes and went over.

Shen Xi glared at him lightly, then looked at He Lanzhun warmly: "Don't pay attention to him, he just has a bad temper."

He Lanzhun sat loosely, looked at Xiao Huai, and turned the cup in his hand with a half-smile.

……

For the ten thousandth time, Xiao Huai wanted to strangle He Lanzhun to death.

How dare you complain to Shen Xi in front of him? !
Until he went out to get in the car, the ice on his face was still so thick that even a chisel could not cut it open.

"Come and eat sweets." Shen Xi handed him the plate.

He turned around: "I have a bad temper, don't bother me."

Shen Xi looked at him, put the plate away, and sat beside him to flip through the book.

He tossed and turned twice on the couch, finally sat up by himself, glared at her and said, "Where's the sugar?"

Shen Xi smiled and handed over the plate: "Aren't you angry?"

Xiao Huai didn't speak, leaned against the wall of the car, staring at her.

Suddenly he stretched out his hand to pull her over, hugged her in his arms, from the eyebrows down to her lips, he carefully grinded her with his eyes.

"You Helian people are really the most poisonous people in the world!" One coaxed him to death, and the other made him furious.What evil did he do in his previous life...

Shen Xi's face turned cold when he heard this.

But he bent his face down in time and sealed her mouth.

The whole movement was unbelievably gentle, and he was completely different from the stern and soft inside just now.

Since he almost lost his composure in the study last time, even intimacy in the past few months has only been limited.

Shen Xi gradually sank, and his anger didn't know where he went, so he had no choice but to punch him on the back to count.

……

He Lanzhun left Lizi Hutong and went directly to Jishuitan Wharf.

The Jingshi Wharf is different from the bustling and bustling inside the city. Compared with the high-ranking and few in the city, the atmosphere here is much more common.

Huo Jiu had already listened to the song in the painting boat, stuffing walnuts into his mouth one by one.

"Why did you come here?" He held the jug and poured wine for him, while greeting the crew at the bow and serving the dishes.

The diva holding the pipa under the curtain originally kept her eyes on his face, but as soon as He Lanzhun arrived, her eyes flashed with astonishment, and then fell into another obsession.

Huo Jiu threw an ingot of silver, which hit her on the knee, and the sound of the pipa was frightened. She lowered her head in panic, and two red clouds rose on her face.

"Go to the bow and sing, don't come in again."

The supervisor's voice was as cold as ever, and Diva hurriedly took the maid out.

He Lanzhun drank his full wine in one gulp, and then Gu Zi poured it again.

Huo Jiu looked at him, waited for him to drink two cups, then squeezed a walnut and said, "What stimulated you?"

"It's not me who pays the bill, why do I have to be stimulated to drink it." He Lanzhun poured a third cup.

Huo Jiu lowered his head and thought for a while, then nodded: "That's true." After speaking, he added: "But I still feel that you went to see Shen Xi just now."

He Lanzhun put his hand on the handle of the pot, his eyes were clear and deep after drinking in a daze.

"Is it so obvious?" He murmured, "I thought I was covering it up well. So you all saw it."

Huo Jiu frowned: "Since you are deceiving yourself and others, why give up?"

He Lanzhun looked up at the night sky outside the window, but did not speak.

The bright moon outside the window shone on the river surface, reflecting a scene of messy waves.

The sound of frolicking on the distant painting boat is endless, and the singer is still playing music peacefully at the bow.

The yelling of the men on the shore and the frolicking with the girls sounded full of secular flavors.

"You seem to deliberately find such a place to gather with me every time." He frowned slightly, and his eyes were dim, but there was no sign of anger.

Huo Jiu rubbed his nose and lowered his head to pour the wine: "I just think..."

"However, I used to be so unrestrained." Just when Huo Jiu was about to change the subject, he suddenly let out a faint breath.

"I lived a life of bells and whistles, and like most children from aristocratic families, I have some annoying cleanliness fetishes, and I used to pretend to be noble and disdain to be close to the three schools and nine streams."

Huo Jiu frowned, looked at him and said, "You seem to be like this now."

He Lanzhun shook his head, flicked his cuffs and picked up a chopsticks of shrimp tails, his elegant posture seemed innate: "But there was a time when I wasn't.

"I used to be with a bunch of stinky guys, and listened to their unscrupulous chatter. When they were discussing which girl was pretty near the camp, I followed them curiously."
