Qin Wuyan leaned over and pressed his forehead against hers, his whole body was soaked in the chill of the wind and snow, and the tip of his nose rubbed against hers: "I know you are not asleep, open your eyes and look at me."

Zhuang Xiaoyu couldn't pretend anymore, so she had to open her eyes.

The man's handsome face was close at hand, the tip of his nose and forehead were cold, even that pretty face seemed to be radiating a chill.

"I'm sorry." Qin Wuyan didn't know how to explain: "I should have come back earlier, but something happened temporarily, and I didn't expect it to be delayed until now."

Zhuang Xiaoyu bit her lip: "Then why didn't you send someone to tell me, if I had known that you would not come back so soon, I wouldn't have waited for you until this time."

There was a trace of grievance in her voice, it was clearly you who invited me to watch the new year together, it was clear that you wanted me to be with you, but in the end it was me who obeyed everything, but you disappeared without a trace.

Qin Wuyan didn't know how to answer: "I didn't know it would be so late, it's my fault."

"What happened?" Zhuang Xiaoyu asked curiously, "Is it important?"

Qin Wuyan: "..., it's still important."

Qin Wuyan hesitated, not knowing how to answer.

He straightened up, took off his outer shirt, and changed the subject: "The snow outside is getting heavier and heavier, the ground is covered with snow, the horse is running fast, but it is still too late to get back.

Why don't I go out with you to set off fireworks now? "

Zhuang Xiaoyu lost interest: "No, it's already past midnight, I watched it for a long time, and all the fireworks in the house have been set off."

Qin Wuyan: "..."

Qin Wuyan threw his outer shirt on the rattan chair beside the bed, lifted the quilt and lay down beside Zhuang Xiaoyu, hugging her: "Xiaoyu, if you are angry, then lose your temper with me, don't hold it in your heart."

Hearing these words, Zhuang Xiaoyu didn't know why, but felt the tip of her nose sore, and her dry and painful eye sockets suddenly became moist.

She wanted to turn around, "It's very late, go to sleep, tomorrow is New Year's Day, I have to get up early to welcome the guests."

Although he had long expected that the priest's mansion would not be as lively as it used to be, but Qin Wuyan also lived in the priest's mansion now, and there would definitely be some aristocratic families coming to see him.

Qin Wuyan held her waist to prevent her from turning around and turned her back to him. He pinched her chin with his fingers and forced her to look at him: "There is a housekeeper in the house, you can just rest well tomorrow. I'll take care of the matter, and you don't need to show your face."

In the past, Zhuang Xiaoyu never cared about similar things, and Zhuang Huaisen never let his daughter do these things to face those people with malicious intentions.

Qin Wuyan knew that Zhuang Xiaoyu was not good at dealing with those scheming people, so she couldn't bear to have a smile on her face with those people.

Whatever Zhuang Huaisen can give her, he can give her, and what Zhuang Huaisen can't give her, he can also give her.

Qin Wuyan hugged the person in his arms tightly: "Xiao Yu, whatever you were in the past, you can be what you are now, you don't need to worry about what you have and what you don't, just follow your own heart."

Zhuang Xiaoyu closed her eyes, "Ayan, I'm tired, go to bed earlier."

During this period of time, she was physically and mentally exhausted, and she couldn't follow her heart no matter where she went.

Everything in the past has long been irreversible.

Hearing her sighing tone, Qin Wuyan felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart. His once glamorous and domineering young lady became entangled in melancholy overnight. She no longer smiled brightly, let alone I acted like a baby to him as a matter of course...
