He smacked his mouth awkwardly. Feng Jiuxi took his eyes away from him, gently exhaled and said, "brother Bai, don't get me wrong. I don't hate this thing... I'm just surprised. You know that I've been haunted by public opinion recently, especially the crown prince. At this time, you came in and got involved again. I can't understand what you mean..."
The air seemed to stagnate for a moment, and Bai Li didn't answer immediately.
Feng Jiuxi didn't dare to look back at his expression. He just felt embarrassed. His face was full of tangles.
After a few short breaths, it was as long as centuries.
Bai Li's voice finally sounded, "it's because I know that the prince has been pestering you for a long time, so I want to help you now. The best way I can think of is to ask the emperor to marry you, so that if the prince wants to pester you again in the future, at least he will worry that there is my Bai family peeping at you opposite, so that he can't do too much."
Is that so? Feng Jiuxi asked herself whether she should believe this explanation.
To say that he did this to help himself, Feng Jiuxi admitted that it would indeed make the crown prince afraid to some extent, but this practice is too "sacrificing himself for others"
"Although our Bai family is not as strong as before, it is still one of the four families. The emperor will not let the crown prince fool around without looking at the monk's face and Buddha's face." after a pause, Bai Li said with a bitter smile: "if you think this matter offends you, I apologize to you. It's really not good. I can go to the saint tomorrow and cancel this proposal."
Feng Jiuxi was soft hearted and shook his head slightly. "No, brother Bai is also for my good. I misunderstood you just now. It's reasonable that I should thank you."
She is such a person. If someone treats her badly and wants to use her, she can refuse ruthlessly.
But if you really think of her, she can't be cruel and become extremely soft hearted.
Bai Li smiled and was as gentle as ever. "No need to thank you. I just hope I didn't bring you trouble."
"No... it's just that I've delayed you. If you meet the woman you like in the future, won't she have a misunderstanding?" Feng Jiuxi said, more or less deliberately distancing himself.
In other words, he will have a woman he really likes in the future.
But that woman, it shouldn't be her.
Bai Li's eyes fell on her. For a moment, he opened his mouth and said slowly, "there will be no misunderstanding. Don't worry."
Because the person he likes is alive in front of him.
Bai Li silently added the following sentence in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it. He was as sensitive as him. How could he not see that Feng Jiuxi deliberately alienated him.
So he can't act too hastily. He can only let her accept himself step by step.
"No misunderstanding is good." Feng Jiuxi smiled.
It's not that she doesn't understand interest, but if it's impossible between men and women, it's better to make it clear as soon as possible.
"Don't take this matter to heart. Just take it as a friend's help." Bai Li finally said with relief.
Since all his words were said for this share, Feng Jiuxi was naturally not good to say anything more. He just nodded, "thank you."
"Nothing, I left. Baizhitang has something waiting for me."
Bai Li said that and got up to leave.
