Girl, let me check it out.

"Second Master, why aren't you sleeping so late?"

Mr. Zhao turned around suddenly and saw Fang Weihan. He said anxiously:

"Oh, Your Highness, you are finally back..."

Fang Weihan looked at him in confusion.

Before he finished speaking, another cold and familiar voice suddenly sounded:

"Yeah, you're finally back."

This voice is...

Fang Weihan couldn't laugh anymore.

He looked back stiffly.

I saw Xie Lingwan standing in the moonlight, her eyes slightly red, and her gaze towards me contained extremely complicated emotions.

"You...why are you here?"

Fang Weihan took a long time to utter a sentence.

Chapter 35 How can I trust you?

"I came to see you the day before yesterday, but Erye said you were not there."

"So I came again today, and you weren't here yet."

Xie Lingwan's voice was very calm. She had adjusted her mentality during the time she was waiting for Fang Weihan to come back.

However, her red eyes and wrinkled clothes had completely betrayed her.

Fang Weihan knew Xie Lingwan very well, even better than he knew himself.

How could she just leave herself like this?

And how come I didn’t know she came to see me last night?

What's going on with this old guy Zhao Erye?

Fang Weihan looked fiercely in the direction of Mr. Zhao Er, but found that the old man had disappeared without a trace.

Grass.

This king will deduct one month’s salary from you.

Fang Weihan thought angrily.

"What did you do just now?"

Xie Lingwan raised her head and looked into his eyes. Her voice was no longer as gentle as usual, but became a little ethereal.

I……

Fang Weihan opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

What was he doing?

He went to the General Supervisory Office to check the information about Huanhua Tower.

But can I tell this to Xie Lingwan?

Fang Weihan looked into those slightly red and swollen eyes in silence.

He had very complicated feelings towards the girl in front of him.

It is true that Xie Lingwan is his fiancée, but she is also the eldest daughter of the Xie family in Chen County.

In the original novel, Xie Lingwan broke off the engagement with me without any hesitation.

She could become the future prime minister of Southern Zhou, so it goes without saying that she was extremely scheming and cunning.

Is she really worthy of my trust?

Having lived two lifetimes, Fang Weihan can already understand the hearts of most people in this world.

Unlike Wang Zhiyou and Shen Yuanxing, who Fang Weihan could see through at a glance, Xie Lingwan seemed to be always shrouded in a layer of fog.

If you love me, why do you drag your feet on marriage without any commitment?

If you don't love me, then why do you still keep this engagement and keep hinting at your feelings for me?

Fang Weihan really couldn't figure it out. He had never understood it before.

It seems to be the characteristic of practitioners of the Water Five Elements, sometimes like flying clouds, sometimes like sharp and cold ice, and sometimes like gentle water.

Xie Lingwan, which one is you?

"I'm asking you, what did you do just now?"

Xie Lingwan repeated it mechanically again.

It’s better to find an excuse to get away with it.

Fang Weihan scratched his head and said with an innocent smile:

"Hahaha, ducks know first when the river water warms in spring. The ducks in Ming River are so cute. I just went to feed them."

Xie Lingwan didn't say a word, but her eyes were still staring at him intently.

The atmosphere at the scene was very awkward for a while.

"Hahaha."

Fang Weihan: "..."

"Whoo~"

He yawned in a serious manner and walked towards the mansion.

As he passed by Xie Lingwan, he pretended to be calm and said:

"Well, it's so late today. I'm going to bed. You should go home early too."

Get it done.

Fang Weihan breathed a sigh of relief.

But before he took two steps, a pair of small hands grabbed his collar tightly.

Xie Lingwan had no expression on her face and her voice was cold.

"You fed the ducks all afternoon and all night?"

Fang Weihan: "..."

He froze in place, wanting to break free from Xie Lingwan's hand but unable to do so, unable to move forward or backward.

Xie Lingwan walked around in front of him, raised her head, and a hint of grievance lingered between her brows.

"Fang Weihan, you seem to have changed."

"You've become something I don't recognize anymore."

Xie Lingwan's voice was unconsciously choked with sobs.

"Since that day on the bell tower, I felt that you seemed to be deliberately avoiding me."

Fang Weihan weakly retorted: "I didn't..."

"You have!"

Xie Lingwan's sobs became louder and louder, and gradually turned into crying.

"You were clearly badly injured just now, why are you running around again?"

"The monster has already run away, why did you chase it? Can you defeat it?"

She let go of Fang Weihan's sleeve, squatted weakly on the ground, buried her head between her knees, and sobbed softly.

"And...and, you clearly promised me...promised me not to go to a brothel."

She cried intermittently.

Fang Weihan hated to see women cry.

Especially this person is Xie Lingwan.

"Actually, everyone goes to a brothel, and it's not shameful. Drinking and having fun is actually a refined thing..."

He tried to ease the tension between the two.

"Is this the point?!"

Xie Lingwan interrupted him crying.

She raised her head and glared at Fang Weihan stubbornly, her delicate and flawless face full of tear marks.

"You clearly know what I mean!"

"Whether this matter is right or wrong, but that's what you promised me..."

"You obviously know everything. But you are still playing dumb!"

The girl's thin shoulders trembled slightly, and her white skirt fell to the ground, stained with a few fallen leaves.

Just as Fang Weihan knew her very well, she also knew Fang Weihan very well.

She could tell at a glance that Fang Weihan was just pretending to be stupid.

This made Xie Lingwan feel very aggrieved.

Born into a prominent family full of intrigue, she didn't want their relationship to be tainted by worldly concealment.

She cherishes everything she and Fang Weihan have now.

But Fang Weihan seemed to have changed...

"why?"

she asked through sobs.

why?

Fang Weihan felt inexplicably amused.

Shouldn't I ask why?

He looked at Xie Lingwan quietly.

"Aren't you playing dumb?"

He asked suddenly, his voice low.

Xie Lingwan's crying became softer and her shoulders stopped shaking.

"What did you say?"

There were still crystal tears hanging on her long eyelashes as she asked blankly.

"After all these years, don't you know what I'm thinking?"

Fang Weihan looked away, unwilling to meet Xie Lingwan's gaze.

It's not a pleasant feeling to uncover your memories bit by bit.

"You said I was playing dumb, but aren't you playing dumb too?"

He turned to look at the ground and clenched his fists little by little.

"There is no promise, no guarantee, not even a definite date for the wedding."

"Before, you would say that you are young and should wait a little longer. I believed you, and so I foolishly waited for so many years."

"But now we are all grown up, what excuse do you have?"

Fang Weihan shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Sometimes, I even feel that our engagement is as good as nothing, like a piece of waste paper."

"Now that I think about it, I was really stupid."

His voice gradually faded away.

Before she finished her words, Xie Lingwan stood up suddenly and covered Fang Weihan's mouth with her hand.
