After a while, Xia Yun finished putting on her clothes, and just as she walked out of the castle, a gust of cold wind blew over, causing him to unconsciously shrink her neck.
Butler Lin opened the umbrella and placed it on Xia Yun's head. The snowflakes were very light and there was practically no sound as they fell on the umbrella.
"Miss." Housekeeper Lin held up an umbrella for Xia Yun as he said: "The carriage will arrive in a while. It will take ten minutes to walk from here to the door, it's a little far."
Xia Yun shook her head, "There's no need, let's just walk over."
"Miss, it's too cold. You're still pregnant. It would be bad if you caught a cold." The Steward Lin continued to advise.
It was a snowy night at three in the morning, and it was still halfway up the mountain. One could imagine how bone-piercing the temperature was.
Walking at this temperature for ten minutes or so posed a huge threat to the body.
"It's all right. If he can take it, so can I. " After saying that, Xia Yun immediately took a step forward, and her feet stepped on the snow, making a creaking sound.
The Steward Lin had no choice but to follow behind him with an umbrella.
Looking at Xia Yun's resolute expression, he could not help but think: Am I forcing myself to experience Lu Fengting's feelings?
The road seemed so long after more than ten minutes. In the end, Xia Yun could not help but use her sleeve to cover her nose and mouth, the air was so cold that her nose felt like it was going to freeze.
Finally, the two hollow doors became clearer and clearer. In front of the gates, under the dim light, the figure was still standing tall and straight like a statue.
Looking at the extremely familiar figure, Xia Yun stopped in her tracks. She bit her lips and said: "Steward Lin, he has already seen me. Let him go back."
"Miss."
"I'll be troubling you, Steward Lin."
"Fine." Steward Lin sighed, "Miss, hold up the umbrella yourself." After handing the umbrella over to Xia Yun, he walked out the door.
Steward Lin walked to the door, looked at Lu Fengting whose shoulder was already covered with a thin layer of snow, and said: "Young Master Lu, my Young Miss has already said, you have seen her, go back now."
"I'm not going back." Lu Fengting said in a low voice, his pitch-black pupils continuously staring at the figure that he had been daydreaming about for the past three months, unwilling to leave at all.
"Young Master Lu, little miss's intentions are very clear. Please go back."
"Steward Lin, I know your position in the Lin Family, but I will not listen to you about this matter, unless Xia Yun personally tells me." Lu Fengting's somewhat hoarse voice was filled with determination.
Steward Lin sighed, shook his head, walked back to Xia Yun's side, and passed on Lu Fengting's words to him.
Hearing the words that the Steward Lin had passed on to him, the light in Xia Yun's eyes lightly trembled, his expression extremely complicated. She did not want to go over, and if possible, he did not want to face this man again in his entire life.
But if she didn't face him, he really would die here.
Just by walking across this courtyard, she felt like she was going to freeze to death. Lu Fengting had been standing outside for several hours already.
"Miss."
Steward Lin said, "There are some things that can never be avoided."
Xia Yun lowered her head and bit her lips. A moment later, she raised her head and said: "Thank you, Steward Lin." After which, he walked straight towards Lu Fengting.
Since he couldn't let his memories rot away, he might as well destroy them.
Xia Yun slowly walked over, and that perfect face slowly became clear in her line of sight.
In a short span of three months, it felt like dozens of years had passed. To not see each other again for one day was like three years, and the feeling of mutual love was indeed like this.
Their eyes met, and they gazed at each other.
His eyes that were as black as ink were already as gentle as water. He walked in front of Xia Yun, extended his palm, and caressed Xia Yun's cheek, "Are you alright?"
Xia Yun dodged his palm, purposely avoiding her hand that was frozen in midair, and tried to make her voice as cold and indifferent as possible, "Without you, of course it's good."
Feeling her rejection, Lu Fengting's heart hurt. He forced out a smile, took a step forward, leaned towards Xia Yun, and said with an almost petty tone: "Xia Yun, I was wrong. Forgive me, okay?"
Apologize?
Lu Fengting could actually apologize?
Xia Yun almost suspected that she had misheard him. She raised her head, met his profound eyes, and asked: "Lu Fengting, what do you mean by that?"
"Xia Yun, I know my wrongs. I shouldn't have hurt your heart, why don't you give me one more chance?" Lu Fengting looked at Xia Yun seriously, and when he finished, his tone was close to begging.
"Opportunity?"
Tears rolled down Xia Yun's face as the corner of her mouth raised in a mocking smile: "When I humbly begged you, why didn't you tell me to give you a chance? At that time, as long as you said that you were wrong, I would have lied to myself and continued to love you. But you didn't even want to say it out loud, why didn't you tell me at that time to give you a chance?"
"Xia Yun..."
"Shut up!"
Xia Yun cried and said sorrowfully: "Lu Fengting, you want me to forgive you now? Oh, I get it. Did you see that I returned to the Lin Family and was useful to you again? So you came to find me and ask me to forgive you, and then use me to complete your revenge plan, right? "
"Xia Yun!"
Lu Fengting stepped forward and grabbed Xia Yun's thin shoulder, "I admit, I had planned to use you from the very beginning, to use you to complete my plan, and make the Lin Family pay the price. But during the time I lived with you, I have slowly fallen in love with you."
"When I became aware that I loved you, I was scared. I was afraid that if I fell in love with you, I wouldn't be able to use you anymore and that would mean I couldn't finish my plan. So, I intentionally suppressed this love to the deepest part of my heart and then deceived myself."
"When you left, the pressure in my heart completely exploded. I realized that I had completely fallen in love with you, and that you were my everything. As long as you returned to me, I would not care about any plans or revenge. We would live our lives peacefully in that second-tier city."
"Xia Yun, you will go back with me. You are not a princess of the Lin Family, I am just an ordinary merchant. Let's go back together to the old days, okay?"
Xia Yun laughed bitterly: "Lu Fengting, it's too late. Everything is too late.
Lu Fengting looked at Xia Yun deeply and said: "Xia Yun, as long as we still love each other, it won't be too late. I know you still love me, don't you? "
Xia Yun kept her mouth shut and did not answer.
However, her eyes had already betrayed her heart and answered for her lips.
