Red apricots make spring

Chapter 197
Wenrou's body froze slightly. After all, should I believe his words?Such hesitation flashed in her heart, and then she sighed and accepted his explanation.It's because although she doesn't know Lu Ce very well, she also knows that Pei Jingxuan's behavior is not like his style. Besides, if he did it, there is no need to explain it to her. Probably, he will never appear in front of her again. Alright.

Once the resentment that had been pent up in my heart for several days disappeared, Wen Rou immediately returned to normal reason, remembering that she was still held in Lu Ce's arms, her face was hot with embarrassment, and she hurriedly wanted to escape, but Lu Ce's hands He bound her so tightly that she couldn't break free for a while, so she couldn't help but said anxiously: "Let me go..."

The playful hug in the bridal chamber doesn't count. Strictly speaking, this is the first time Lu Ce embraced tenderness in his arms.He rested his chin on the top of her hair and stroked it gently, feeling the bursts of fragrance emanating from her black hair, he really didn't want to let her go, instead he hugged her even tighter.

Gentle felt that his arms were gradually tightening, his heart beat faster involuntarily, even his breathing became a little short, and he was even more at a loss.This was different from when Pei Jingxuan forcibly pulled her into his arms last time. She didn't feel any disgust at all, but she knew in her heart that it was wrong to do so. Didn't she and Lu Ce have already separated?

"Lu...Lu Ce, let me go..."

The gentle voice, not much bigger than the humming of a mosquito, made Lu Ce feel warm in his heart.

"The two of us... have nothing to do with each other... Besides, you're going to get married soon..."

Speaking of this, the strength of the gentle struggle became stronger.She likes Lu Ce, but that doesn't mean she wants to have an ambiguous relationship with him. Let's not talk about immoral issues, just show her heart to heart. She also doesn't want her future husband to hug other women in his arms while carrying her behind his back. arms.

This sentence made Lu Ce laugh. Seeing that she was really embarrassed, no matter how reluctant he was, he took a deep breath secretly and finally let her go.But hugging is really just a short moment, and it can't quench his long-term lovesickness at all, so he is still wondering whether he should find a chance to hug her again in a while.

Wenrou didn't know what kind of plan Lu Ce was thinking, but she knew that her face would be red as if she had opened a rouge shop. She didn't dare to look up, so she hurriedly pulled out a strand of silk thread hanging from her neck, and tied it She was holding a jade pendant, which was given to her by Lu Ce when she left the capital, but she never found a chance to return it.

"This—" Rourou untied the silk thread, replaced the jade pendant and said, "Give it back to you."

Lu Ce didn't reach out to pick it up, but just stared at her intently, with the urge to grab this dull woman on his lap and spank her.Is she pretending to be stupid, or does she really not know what it means for him to give her the jade pendant?How dare you take it out and return it to him in such an unsightly way!

"That..." Lu Ce kept silent and didn't move, making Wenrou feel that the atmosphere was a bit weird, so he could only laugh at himself: "The things you sent are too expensive, I'm afraid I'll lose them at home, and there's nothing to return by then. You have to wear it on your body..."

Lu Ce took a deep breath, and finally said, "Do you still remember that I gave you this?"

The focus of his words was on the word "send". How could Wen Rou not hear it? Seeing that he didn't answer, she just lowered her head and put the jade pendant on the table: "Why, you came to me this time, not to return the jade pendant Is it?"

What a fool!When Lu Ce saw her appearance, he was angry and funny, picked up the jade pendant, and wanted to tie it back around her neck.

"No, I don't want to..." Rourou dodged in a hurry, and there was a thin layer of water in her eyes that were raised inadvertently. Finally, she still couldn't control the feelings in her heart, and she felt a little bit like crying.

"Yes!" Lu Ce firmly tied the jade pendant on her, "I will never take back what I send out."

"But the jade pendant has a different meaning..." Gentlely retorted.

"Yes, it is indeed different." Lu Ce glanced at her with a half-smile and said, "Why, you still don't understand the meaning of my jade pendant?"

Is this a confession?With such a simple sentence, Rourou felt that the blood in his whole body rushed to his brain, his heart was beating non-stop, and it was almost about to jump out of his chest.Feeling slightly dizzy, she stood there for a while, and when her emotions gradually subsided, she lowered her head and said helplessly: "Is it useful for me to understand?"

When the two separated completely, Lu Ce gave this jade pendant, and the reason why they separated was that they knew they couldn't stay together.What she wants, he can't afford.What he wanted, she also couldn't afford.That being the case, what else could this jade pendant represent?Does she understand, what does it matter?
Lu Ce looked at her, as if he could see her confusion and hesitation, and his heart couldn't help but to feel sorry for her.He stretched out his hand, pulled Wen Rou into his arms again, and sighed softly in her ear: "I gave you this jade pendant, and I will only marry you."

The gentle body trembled slightly, and suddenly he looked at Lu Ce with wide eyes, and saw that his eyes no longer had the usual indifference and coldness, but were full of affectionate and persistent commitment.She didn't know whether it was surprise or joy, touch or sadness, and her emotions were in a mess, but in the end she shook her head, gritted her teeth and pushed him away: "Don't say such things in the future, our identities are too different. It's impossible, the only ones you should marry are the princess or the fourth girl of the Shen family!"

"Princess and Shen Mengyi?" Lu Ce said with a faint smile on his lips, "You must have heard some rumors recently, right? Your Majesty was annoyed by me and said he never wanted to see me again. As for the Shen family's marriage, Prime Minister It's gone too."

Is everything in the rumors a plan secretly set up by him?Up to now, Wenrou can't help but think this way.Lu Ce probably used Shen's marriage to reject the princess' offer to marry, and then used the princess's offer to reject Shen's marriage. It is indeed a good strategy that kills two birds with one stone, but so what?She still shook her head and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Without the princess, there will still be a princess, and without the prime minister's daughter, there will still be a Hanlin daughter. It's no different. Your family background is destined not to marry a commoner woman like me. Concubines are acceptable."

Wenrou never thought that she would be so calm, that she could think about such realistic issues with a sober mind when faced with the confession and promise of someone she likes.But it's not surprising that she can think about it. Isn't that what she has been struggling with for a long time?Otherwise, she might not have chosen to leave, but had chosen to have a complete breakup with Lu Ce.

Lu Ce was silent for a while, sat down and poured himself a cup of tea, and while drinking, lowered his head and said with a faint smile, "You don't know the meaning of this jade pendant in my house, do you?"

What other meanings can jade pendant have?Isn't it just a token of love?Biting her lip tenderly, she shook her head.

"Look at the words engraved on the jade pendant." Lu Ce's smile became softer.

When the jade pendant has been played with by Gentleman too much, she knows that "holding the hand" is engraved on the front and "bringing the old with the child" is engraved on the back without looking at her.In fact, when she saw it for the first time, she was puzzled in her heart. This is obviously a sentence from the "Book of Songs". In the world she lived in, it was widely circulated as a classic love sentence, but there are no Laozi, Confucius, Zhuangzi, etc. who appear here. It's a little strange to wait for these ancient celebrities in a completely different world from the one she used to live in.

"This jade pendant represents the only promise." Lu Ce continued softly: "When my grandfather handed it to me, he told me that if he didn't meet a woman who wanted to hold his hand for the end, he would give this jade pendant to me from now on. If my children and grandchildren want to give it to a woman as a token of love, it represents a lifelong promise, not to marry a non-qing, never to leave, never to leave, to stay forever, and must not take another concubine."

This is clearly Lu Chenzhou's exclusive love!Gentle really didn't expect this jade pendant to represent such a meaning, and suddenly felt that this jade pendant, which was originally heavy, became even more heavy, because it was full of true and dedicated love, precious and rare, But Lu Ce gave her such a jade pendant...
