"Does Wen Yan like him?" Xie Qingrong asked again, with extreme patience.
Zhangsun Wenyan pursed her lips, there were clearly traces of liking in the depths of her eyes. Finally, she was willing to directly look into her heart and softly reply: "I like it."
"Since Wen Yan likes him, and he likes Wen Yan, then why is Wen Yan puzzled?" Xie Qingrong asked.
In fact, she knew in her heart that the reason why Zhangsun Wenyan was so confused was because the Xuanyuan Rui who had already passed away had always been living within the beautiful dream that Xuanyuan Rui had weaved for her, unable to wake up.
However, when a person was alive, he would always have to look forward.
Zhangsun Wenyan nervously clenched her hands tightly, her long fingernails digging into the center of her palms fiercely. It was as if she was reminding her not to think about such unrealistic things, that from the moment Xuanyuan Rui passed away, her life had already ended.
But why, when that person so clearly appeared in front of his eyes, even though he was clearly moved, he was still unwilling to admit it, chasing that person away again and again.
Obviously, he would also feel very sad because of this, but that person would continue to persevere around him, giving him a little warmth that he thought was too far away for him.
"Cousin, there has always been someone in my heart. I cannot accept anyone other than him." Zhangsun Wenyan said indifferently, but there was clearly a trace of pain in her eyes.
She wavered.
Xie Qingrong pulled Zhangsun Wenyan's hand away, seeing the crescent-shaped fingernail on her palm, she caressed it gently and comforted her: "Actually Wen Yan's heart is biased towards him, isn't that so? If it wasn't for that, Wen Yan would not have been troubled by this matter."
"Wen Yan, you have to see clearly how you decide in your heart. Even though the living will never fight over the dead, Wen Yan, you must understand, only the living can give you endless hope and warmth. "
Xie Qingrong's words had heavily struck Zhangsun Wenyan's heart. It was due to her originally unstable state of mind being shaken, perhaps she had already understood her own choice.
Zhangsun Wenyan laughed. This time, her smile was dignified and bright, the look in her eyes was clear and profound, like a clear stream. The pain and annoyance all followed her into the distance.
Xie Qingrong could already tell from her smile what choice Zhangsun Wenyan had made, and she also smiled slightly.
Zhangsun Wenyan's palanquin entered the Prime Minister's Estate from the Prime Minister's Estate's side courtyard, but unexpectedly, a tall figure was waiting here for a long time.
She slowly got down from the palanquin and saw a blue figure smiling at her. It looked like it was just the first time she was seeing him, gently floating around like a man made of jade.
Li Chengrui took out a small package that he was carrying with a piece of cloth in his arms, handed it over to Zhangsun Wenyan, and said with a smile: "This is a little thing that I bought from the market not long ago, I hope you can like it."
Zhangsun Wenyan happily put the small package into her sleeves, her eyes had a gentle smile, and her usual dignified and elegant face had already disappeared, the current her had blossomed into a sweet smile, with a lovely face, as though she had met the girl she liked.
Li Chengrui carefully caressed Zhangsun Wenyan's face and pushed a strand of hair down to her ears. Her exquisite face had a tinge of red on it, which made her look even more beautiful.
"Li Chengrui." Zhangsun Wenyan suddenly shouted out his name.
Li Chengrui had some suspicions in his heart, but he did not reveal it on the surface.
Zhangsun Wenyan was a little nervous, she rubbed the handkerchief tightly in her hands, "You should know that there is always someone in my heart."
Seeing Li Chengrui nod his head, Zhangsun Wenyan took a deep breath and continued: "If I were to say, even if I have never forgotten him, would you still be willing to continue … Continue
As she said till here, Zhangsun Wenyan's voice gradually grew softer. She could not spit out the last few words no matter what, as she lowered her eyes and did not dare to meet Li Chengrui's gaze. She was afraid that from the look in her eyes, she would see the disappointment and sadness that she most loathed.
Li Chengrui had understood who the person in Zhangsun Wenyan's heart was from the start, and he also knew that it was impossible for Zhangsun Wenyan to forget that person in her entire life.
"Wen Yan, I knew it from the beginning, but I am still willing to take care of you like this. Even after a long time, he will still have a place in your heart, and I am also willing to guard you like this."
When Zhangsun Wenyan heard his intentions, tears welled up in her eyes, as if they would fall out in the next moment. She pursed her lips, and nodded in front of Li Chengrui's anticipating eyes.
A dark curtain of night hung over the land, and the last of the cicadas' cicadas' cicadas faded away in the early autumn night.
Moonlight shone in through the window, covering the bed. A woman who had closed her eyes and fallen into a dream could vaguely see the tears on the side of her face and the frown on her forehead.
"Wen Yan." Xuanyuan Rui gently caressed Zhangsun Wenyan's black hair. The bun on her bed made her dignified face look a little cute.
Zhangsun Wenyan lowered her eyes, laid on top of Xuanyuan Rui's desk, and stared at Xuanyuan Rui without moving. He was drawing, and the young lady in the painting was Zhangsun Wenyan.
Xuanyuan Rui had completely filled up the lady's face and sealed it with his own seal. The painting could be considered as complete as he folded it and gave it to Zhangsun Wenyan.
She softly said, "Wen Yan, this painting is my last gift to you. From now on, Wen Yan must take good care of herself. "
Zhangsun Wenyan kept the painting, and raised her head to look at Xuanyuan Rui suspiciously, and asked: "Big brother Crown Prince, are you leaving Wen Yan behind?"
Xuanyuan Rui shook his head, and said: "Wen Yan has grown up, and has a man I like. "You have to behave yourself in the future, but you can't let others bully you either."
After saying that, Zhangsun Wenyan opened her eyes wide, looking at Xuanyuan Rui's face, his figure slowly disappearing from his sight.
She blinked, as if tears were streaming out of her eyes, sliding down her delicate face and falling to the ground.
The Xuanyuan Rui who had taken care of her since he was young, and couldn't bear for her to suffer any grievances, had disappeared.
That Xuanyuan Rui who had willingly carried her on his back and would talk nice to her had disappeared.
The Xuanyuan Rui who she had sworn to work together for her entire life, who had never been separated from even her, disappeared.
She woke up from her sleep with tears still in her eyes. She touched her chest and smiled gently with her head lowered.
From today onwards, Big Brother Crown Prince would only occupy a very small position in his heart, and for the rest of her life, she would have to hand over to a man named Li Chengrui.
Goodbye, brother Crown Prince.
