He would not want this to happen with opposite effects. As he noticed that, he tried to console her by saying with a softer tone.
"Lingyun, I apologize for my impatience. It's my fault for being so anxious. I know you've been gone for three years, and I've been worried that you might leave . That's why I've been pushing so hard to gain trust from the Head and to expedite our marriage. I want nothing more than to start a family together with you as soon as possible."
"…"
"When we get married, I promise things will be different. I'll prioritize our ti together and turn down so tasks from the Head. You've always wished for to have more free ti, and I'm determined to make that happen. And with Golden Rolls, everything will be possible,"
Wuxing's gaze filled with adoration as he spoke.
His words carried a genuine and sincere tone.
Lingyun, in her calm and composed deanor, listened attentively to Wuxing's speech.
She would have cheered for this and even got herself ready to do whatever it took for their future together.
He had not been this sincere when he needed sothing of her before.
But…
Hearing him saying this…
Lingyun had no stir in heart.
Lingyun's heart was filled with skepticism as she pondered Wuxing's words. She couldn't bring herself to trust his contradictory statents.
Deep down, she understood that he was a man driven by his own ambitions, and his true intention might not be solely focused on their happiness as a couple.
It appeared that his primary goal was to prevent Liuxing from surpassing him, and he seed willing to go to great lengths, even causing harm, to achieve this objective.
Lingyun was sneering inside his heart.
"I got it. I will try my best. I am new to Phoenix Girl, and I can't just do anything like this in public. Just wait a little longer." Lingyun said, expressionlessly.
But hearing this, Wuxing felt as if he had got a promise. His eyes were sparkling.
"Are you sure?" Wuxing asked.
"Yeah."I think you should take a look at
Lingyun looked at him, answering.
He was really aware of she had always been like, so even if he heard a cold and casual answer, he still believed that it was true.
Very good.
That was indeed good.
In this case…
She believed that she was going to watch his heart broken and falling into utter misery.
Lingyun looked at Wuxing in satisfaction.
But Wuxing was too elated to notice any of this.
He and Lingyun had reached an agreent, but he still rembered Qianji's words. He had to find a way to bring Lingyun to Qianji.
Despite their extensive conversations, Wuxing couldn't reveal everything to Lingyun. Therefore, he relied on Qianji to handle the task.
With this in mind, Wuxing suggested, "Qianji, the Elderly Man, wishes to et you. I'll discreetly escort you to him, and you can return afterward."
"…"
"Don't worry, Qianji, the Elderly Man, is a trustworthy individual. Despite his imposing deanor, he has no intention of causing you harm. He simply wishes to ask you a few questions, that's all."
"…."
"Follow closely, and we'll avoid the concealed guards," Wuxing whispered, gesturing towards the path he had taken to arrive.
Lingyun nodded, acknowledging the invitation. She was curious about what Qianji, the Elderly Man, had to say to her.
Piaomiao Pavilion had been cunning all along, and without the protection of the Golden Rolls, they were capable of many devious deeds. Lingyun was determined not to let them harm Elder Miss.
Wuxing led her out of the courtyard, ensuring their swift departure.
