C629 629 can cheat like this

Moreover, all this while, it had been her who had been rejecting his goodwill, pushing him away from her step by step.

She put down the teacup and looked at Yan Shuo, not knowing what to say.

"How is the selection going?"

Yun Jiao Rong tried to find a topic to talk, but the moment he opened his mouth, he found out the thing he was most concerned about.

Yan Shuo's face froze for a moment, then he replied seriously, "En, leave it all to mother."

"Oh."

Yun Jiao Rong lowered his eyes and replied lightly. He took a sip of the tea and hid the emotions in the depths of his eyes.

"The one whom mother likes is Meng Hui, do you think that it's appropriate for us to marry her?"

Yan Shuo asked, his eyes burning with desire as he looked at Yun Jiao Rong.

Yun Jiao Rong held the teacup tightly in his hand, and then slowly loosened it, "Fennel is pretty good, she has the General Zheng behind her to protect the Emperor, and the position of Empress is the most suitable."

"Could it be that if we do not marry Meng Hui, the General Zheng will not help us protect our home and our country?"

Yan Shuo laughed, it was a sarcastic laugh.

"Once the Emperor marries fennel, General Zheng will be your father-in-law. Naturally, he will work even harder to serve as the Emperor."

Yan Shuo's look of anticipation dimmed, and after that he laughed at himself, but he did not say anything.

Liu Tian Xin was dragged out of the Duke Palaces by Yan Jue. Even though she was extremely unwilling, she was not a match for Yan Jue's pestering.

"Look at this bustling street, it's such a pity not to come out."

Yan Jue pulled Liu Tian Xin's hand. There were several times when she wanted to pull her hand away from Yan Jue, but it was all in vain. The more she didn't want to be pulled by Yan Jue, the tighter Yan Jue's grip became.

He directly pulled her along to the side of the river and bought two lamps from a vendor beside the river. One for himself and one for Liu Tian Xin.

"I brought a girl here last year."

As he said that, he brought Liu Tian Xin to the side of the river and sat down. Looking at Liu Tian Xin, since she was unwilling to admit that she was Liu Tian Xin, he would let her decide.

"I wrote her name on the lotus lamp, but unfortunately, she didn't see it back then."

Liu Tian Xin's face, which was covered by the veil, revealed a strange expression. However, he did not look at Yan Jue, but instead stared at the river full of lotus lamp in front of him, lost in his memories.

Last year, during Yuanxiao, Yan Jue brought her out of Prince Lu's Mansion. At that time, Yan Jue told her, how about we try?

She felt that Yan Jue was making fun of her, and she really thought that Yan Jue liked Liu Ruo Qing at that time, so she didn't bother with him and let him be.

She thought the name he wrote on the lotus lamp was Liu Ruo Qing, so she wasn't in the mood to look.

Unexpectedly …

She stared at the lights in disappointment. It had only been a year, but things had changed.

Just as she was staring at the river in a daze, Yan Jue had already put one of the boats into the water. He looked at Liu Tian Xin and saw that she was still holding onto the lamp that he had just given her.

Liu Tian Xin regained her senses, gestured with her hand, and said that she could not read.

Yan Jue looked at him with a helpless heart. At such a time, did she really think that he would believe that she wasn't Xiao Tian Xin?

He was too lazy to argue with her, so he pulled her up to the stall and said, "It's okay if you can't read. I'll teach you."

She placed the brush in Liu Tian Xin's hand, letting her be stubborn, and then, she clenched her hand tightly. On the lamp, she wrote her name — — Yan Jue.

The handwriting was neat and beautiful, yet it also carried a sense of freedom and elegance.

Liu Tian Xin looked at the name written on the lamp, and was immediately speechless, could he be more narcissistic?

At this time, Liu Tian Xin was "illiterate", so no matter what Yan Jue wrote, even if it was a cat or dog, she had to pretend that she couldn't read.

"Yes, go to the river and put it down."

Liu Tian Xin did as he was told, placing the lamp in the river was just a deceptive act, since Yan Jue was happy, she would let him have his way.

"Legend has it that as long as the person with the name on this lamp is able to pick up this lamp on the other side of the river, it proves that these two people are fated to be married in a previous life. Do you think we have such fate?"

Yan Jue whispered into her ear while crouching. A warm aura swept past Liu Tian Xin's ears, causing her ears to feel a bit numb and itchy. His entire body froze.

didn't dare to think whether there was fate between them. There were so many lanterns on the river, Yan Jue had to extinguish all of them, leaving only hers behind so he could pick up the lamp she had placed on the other side.

She laughed silently before opening her mouth. The wind by the river gently blew her veil, and the corner of her lips, under the veil, slightly rose.

"Why don't we try."

Yan Jue's warm voice sounded beside her ears. Soon after, she saw the lights on the river surface extinguish one by one. She watched as the lights sank into the river.

She looked at Yan Jue in shock. She saw that someone was looking at her with a smile that was not a smile, and there was a handful of peanut in his hand. He was sitting beside her, slowly exterminating the lotus lamp on the river surface one by one.

It can actually be like this …

Liu Tian Xin looked at Yan Jue speechlessly. This guy was really shameless.

After the river lights were extinguished, only her and him remained, he then put the peanut aside in satisfaction and said to Liu Tian Xin, "Our fate is not decided by the heavens, it is decided by ourselves. Even if the heavens must break up our destiny, I will definitely take it back with my own hands."

His words were firm and unquestionable. In the blink of an eye, he returned to his original nonchalant attitude. He gently patted away the peanut crumbs in his hands and slyly smiled at her. "I'm going to the other side of the river to pick up the lights."

With that, he leaped up and stepped on the ice-cold river surface. The dragonfly's wings brushed the surface of the water, and then, it gently landed on the other side of the river, moving naturally and nimbly.

He crouched by the river and picked up the lamp. His name was written on it. Although he had cheated, he was still satisfied when he saw the name on the lamp.

He looked up at Liu Tian Xin who was looking at her from the other side of the river, smiled slightly, then stepped on the river surface again and flew back.

He picked up the lamp on the river that he had not yet picked up, and wrote Liu Tian Xin's name on it. He placed it in front of Liu Tian Xin, "Take this."

He tyrannically stuffed the lamp into Liu Tian Xin's hands, then sat down next to her while grinning: "Hide the lamp well, this is iron evidence that we are fated to get together, don't even think about escaping."

Yan Jue still remembered what the butler came over to tell her. He was so angry that he vomited blood.
