"I can’t afford to pay you!"
"That’s okay, you’re my employee, you can just pay it off with your salary!"
Han Qing gritted her teeth, "You’re a crook!"
"There are no honest officials, just as there are no honest rchants! Rember that!"
"Are you teaching how to be an unscrupulous rchant?"
"What do you think?"
The two bantered back and forth for a long ti!
Han Qing did in fact lean on Han Shaojing’s shoulder and didn’t move again!
Han Shaojing can never admit that in that mont, sniffing the faint fragrance from Han Qing’s body, feeling the warmth of her body pressing against his arm, his gaze wandering over her beautiful young face, an unusual emotion flashed in his heart!
This emotion had him struggling for a long ti because he couldn’t figure out what it was!
Once, while drinking with Tu Yanming, he asked him, why didn’t he give up after pursuing Li Muyun for so many years without success? Were there no more won in the world? Or was it just the unattainable that was the greatest?
Tu Yanming said, "What do you know! Yes, there are many won in this world as you said, but only seeing Muyun makes my heart beat, warms , fills with anticipation, and excites ... It makes feel alive! If I must spend my life with a woman, that woman can only be Muyun. No other woman, no matter how good or beautiful, I’m sorry, I don’t want!"
Upon hearing this, Han Shaojing laughed. That laughter was ostensibly at Tu Yanming, but in reality, it was at himself!
That evening, he had a lot to drink, and when he was almost too drunk to stand, he spoke to Tu Yanming.
He said, "Yanming, you are luckier than . I used to think if I persevered and kept company year after year, I would eventually see a blossoming love and enjoy a happy day! But the result was that we have been separated by distance, never to see each other again. Now I only ask for company over the years, and do not ask for a settled life, perhaps it would be better?"
Indeed, from the mont Han Shaojing realized he was in love with Han Qing, he had chosen to give up.
He never thought that he and Han Qing could be together.
Not to ntion they were distant cousins!
The more important reason was, at that ti, Han Qing had fallen for Lu Yinchu!
In fact, her falling for Lu Yinchu was within his expectations, there was no woman in H City that didn’t love Lu Yinchu!
Even he himself had once joked that if he were a woman, he would definitely fall in love with Lu Yinchu!
But, he would only fall in love, and he would never approach, Lu Yinchu was a man who was bewitching, charming, but also dangerous!
However, inexplicably, Han Shaojing thought Han Qing, who was as smart as she was, seed to be fitting for Lu Yinchu’s type!
Perhaps he was being a bit selfish, after Lu Yinchu lost Xiaoyue and Nanxi, he seed like a working machine, living life empty and numb, and as his brother, he couldn’t bear to see this!
If Han Qing could lt the ice in his heart and make him the old Lu Yinchu again, then he would be more than happy to see it happen!
So, often when they gathered together, he would bring Han Qing with him.
Whether intentionally or not, Han Qing knew how to act, he had said, she was very clever!
Han Qing’s twenty-third birthday ca quickly, and he thought about what to give her as a birthday gift, but after a lot of thought, he couldn’t co up with a good idea!
In the end, he gave Han Qing a rmaid tail pendant, which was the most precious thing to him!
But, what was he declaring?
Nothing, he didn’t want to make this feeling public, naturally he didn’t need to declare!
He just wanted to tell himself in this way: he had loved, just that he had loved, was enough!
Besides, Xiaoyue could give her rmaid tail ring to Yinchu, he could give it to Han Qing, it was not inappropriate!
But he didn’t expect that in the end there would be a mix-up, Han Qing saw the rmaid tail pendant, and recognized that it paired with the one on Yinchu’s left hand, so she thought it was a gift from Yinchu!
Yinchu wanted to explain, but he stopped him, he admitted, at that mont, he had a selfish motive.
He wanted to give Han Qing a little boost, to let her take the initiative to pursue Yinchu!
Because he really didn’t want to see his good brother in pain any longer! At the sa ti, it also terminated the dirty thoughts in his heart!
Lu Yinchu looked at him with a frown at the ti and asked, "She thinks it’s from , she might misunderstand my aning, you should know, I don’t like to get involved in these frivolous emotional issues, Shaojing, you’ve crossed a line!"
He smiled and said, "Consider it as a testimony that I want to give up Xiaoyue and start pursuing a new life, Yinchu, you know I did sothing wrong to Xiaoyue, I don’t deserve to have that pendant, so, grant this wish, don’t say anything, okay?"
Lu Yinchu looked at him for a long ti, didn’t say anything, and just walked away!
But after that, he really didn’t say anything, actually he knew himself, he wouldn’t say.
Han Shaojing never thought that his feelings for Han Qing would be made public in this way today, he laughed at himself, and he also laughed at fate!
Perhaps, his life was destined to be absurd and would never obtain a complete love of his own.
He accepted his fate, he was willing to lose in the gamble, yet, even when he surrendered, would fate really let him go? No, not at all.
Everything that happened to him today is the best proof!
He laughed bitterly, and looked at Han Qing again with a calm expression!
He said, "In the past, I didn’t think there was any possibility between you and . I believed that from the mont we t, we knew each other as cousins, and my heart was trapped, unable to save myself, so naturally, I wouldn’t drag you into my misery. In addition, I knew you liked Yinchu. I grew up with Yinchu and I know how good he is. I also know that I would never be able to shift your gaze from him to in this lifeti, and I, Han Shaojing, won’t do anything in vain."
"Now, I still think there is no possibility between us. That’s because you are no longer the Han Qing I head known and fallen in love with. You’ve changed, you’re no longer like your old self, you’ve changed to the point where I don’t even recognize you. Or maybe you haven’t changed, you just know how to disguise yourself so well that even I can’t tell which one is the real you!"
"Yes, I did love you, but the you I loved has beco a dream of mine. I loved the you in that dream, the you who leaned on my shoulder and chatted with , not the you sitting across from now, leaving at a loss as to how to face."
"In addition, there is one more important reason why I absolutely cannot continue to love you, do you want to know, what it is..."
