MTL - Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year-Chapter 588 Let’s not get engaged
Shen Ningning didn't want the atmosphere to be too tense. She always felt that neither of them knew how to speak while sitting in the hall drinking tea.
So she thought for a while and invited Mo Lingwei to go for a walk in the back garden with her.
“Autumn is coming, and the laurel trees at home are about to bloom, and the smell is very fragrant now. Can I take you to have a look?”
Mo Lingwei stood up immediately: "That's fine."
The two of them walked along the nine-curved corridor one after another, and when they arrived in the back garden, although they were side by side, neither of them spoke for a while.
Suddenly, both of them seemed to have made up their minds and said at the same time—
“Shen Ningning, I know everything.”
“Brother, what do you have to say to me?”
After saying that, the two of them looked at each other, both stunned.
Shen Ningning blinked her beautiful eyes: "What do you know?"
"I know that you were so cold and distant to me before because you agreed to my father's unreasonable request. I know that you were forced to do so."
After Mo Lingwei finished speaking, Shen Ningning froze on the spot.
There was a hint of astonishment on that pretty, white and delicate face.
How did Mo Lingwei know? Did the emperor's uncle confess to him?
“I...you...”
"I'm here to apologize on behalf of my father. He shouldn't have asked you to agree to such an unreasonable request for my sake, and also for my own sake."
Mo Lingwei pursed his thin lips and looked at Shen Ningning seriously: "Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, there is nothing standing between us anymore. Shen Ningning, will you accept me and let us get back together?"
Shen Ningning's beautiful eyes were twinkling, and Mo Lingwei was so excited that he directly held her wrist.
"Father promised that we would be together. I know that you are not heartless towards me. I can agree to whatever you ask for. If I marry you, I will never have another woman in my life."
The two of them grew up together since childhood, and today, hearing what Mo Lingwei said, Shen Ningning's heart was not throbbing, that would be a lie.
Her eyelashes trembled, and the thought of agreeing was almost lingering in her heart and was about to come out.
However, she withdrew her hand and turned sideways, looking at the bleak flower scene in the garden.
“Brother, I can’t promise you even more now.”
“Why? There is still a gap in your heart?”
"No," Shen Ningning shook her head: "This happened to Lu Shaoyuan just now. I thought that if I said not to get engaged at this time, he would think that I disliked him. He is a very good person. Even though he knew my request was unreasonable, he was still willing to agree and cooperate with me in my acting, so I don’t want to hurt him.”
Mo Lingwei was stunned and frowned slightly: "Are you going to marry him for a good thing for him?"
Shen Ningning licked her pink lips and looked at Mo Lingwei with her beautiful eyes: "I want to mention it after a while, at least until his mood is more stable. Besides, I haven't decided whether to get married yet, so I I think I need some time."
Mo Lingwei's throat rolled up and down, and he was silent for a long time.
He finally nodded.
"I am willing to wait for you. I once said that as long as you are willing to consider it, I will wait for as long as you want, or I will never get married and wait for you again. It doesn't matter."
Mo Lingwei placed the jade pendant that belonged to his prince status into Shen Ningning's hands.
Shen Ningning didn’t want it, but he insisted on giving it to her.
“Since you are a blessed girl, please protect me so that I can get my wish with my sweetheart and stay together for a long time.”
Speaking, he took her hand and kissed the back of her hand. After that, Mo Lingwei did what he said, and his attitude towards Shen Ningning became that of a constant companion.
Just a big news came out in the capital.
Prime Minister Xie unexpectedly resigned from office and prepared to retire to the countryside.
After Shen Ningning learned about it, she was extremely surprised. She went to the study room and looked at her father who was packing up books.
“Dad? Have you really resigned?”
Xie Suzhi turned around and saw his daughter coming. He smiled kindly and gently and put down the book in his hand.
“When your mother was still alive, she once said that if a person lives a busy life, he will waste such a precious life. Life is short, so you should go out and see more while you can walk.”
"Dad has been in the official career for such a long time and has nothing more to pursue. Your mother is not here now, and dad should use the remaining time to take care of you, so he resigned."
As he spoke, he asked with a smile: "Ning Ning, do you like a place where it's like spring all year round? There are countless flowers in bloom there in winter. How about daddy taking you to see it?"
Shen Ningning blinked her round eyes, a little confused: "Is daddy going to take me out of the capital?"
"Smart," Xie Suzhi laughed: "My dear daughter, you are tired too. It's time to go out and change your mood. You are not a selfish child. You have been dedicating your energy to your country and country before. It's time to put down these trivial matters and do something for yourself. Live happily.”
Shen Ningning hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice: "Dad, when will we set off?"
“I plan to leave in half a month. By then, your second uncle and third brother will also go with us, and your eldest and second brothers will be responsible for guarding the house.”
After Xie Suzhi talked with Shen Ningning, he quickly started arranging the itinerary.
Everywhere in the mansion was packing up things. They knew that their master was going south and took the princess out to enjoy the flowers and the scenery.
It may take a year and a half to come back after this departure.
Xie Mingxu and Xie Ming'an usually love Shen Ningning so much, but this time they had no objection.
It turns out that they also felt in their hearts that their sister had suffered so many injustices and should go out for a walk.
Before leaving, Shen Ningning went to visit Lu Shaoyuan.
His case was cleared thanks to Mo Lingwei's quick action.
It's just that Lu Shaoyuan was hit hard and needs some time to cheer up.
When Shen Ningning arrived at Lu's house, Lu Shaoyuan was wearing clean blue robes and standing under a big tree admiring the scenery.
Don't even know she's close.
"Lu Shaoyuan?" Shen Ningning called softly. Lu Shaoyuan turned around and saw her coming. A cheerful smile appeared on his thin and handsome face.
“Here you come, look, I just saw that the bird that was about to fly south has built a nest in this tree.”
Shen Ningning looked up, and sure enough, two birds were holding branches in their mouths, preparing to make a winter residence.
Lu Shaoyuan looked at it and sighed: "Although the birds are weak, they are attached to the big trees. If they are well protected by people, they will naturally not be affected by the cold."
He looked at Shen Ningning: "You are like this little bird now. Master Xie is the big tree you can rely on. He can protect you."
Shen Ningning thought there was something in his words, she blinked slightly and looked at him worriedly.
“Lu Shaoyuan...what do you want to say?”
"Ning Ning, I know your concerns, and I also know that you are considerate of me, so I have never brought up the matter of not getting engaged, but I have to consider your feelings, so if you can't bear it, let me bring it up. , let’s not get engaged, I can’t protect you completely.”
Lu Shaoyuan said, his eyes were clear, but the smile on his lips was bitter: "The prince is actually more suitable and better than me. I know it. I have always known it."
