Chapter 121 Goodbye Zhu Yanxiao
Chapter 121 Goodbye Zhu Yanxiao
When Zhu Yanxiao heard that she was going to Feningangtang, he felt helpless.
"God, please don't be unreasonable."
"My Lord, why don't you mention the past?"
“Shenshen, you also had a past before coming to Dongxiang, for example, Zhou Yanxiao in Taixu Realm. This prince has never asked about it.”
"Don't change the concept, Shenshen's original world no longer exists. However, Zhou Yunxi is in Dongxiang and even sent me a message inviting me to enjoy the flowers. I thought Miss Zhou was just a simple admirer of you, Zhu Yanxiao, but I didn't expect it to be your ex. Haha, it's really bloody and exciting."
"Ex? Bloody? What does that mean?"
Shen Shen didn't care whether the prince could understand or not, and continued.
"Zhu Yanxiao, what if we hadn't met today? What if I had never mentioned the invitation? The result would be that I would have gone to the banquet foolishly without knowing anything, and then would I have faced the sneers and ridicules of the noble ladies? I didn't expect that I would be fooled by you, a pair of former lovers."
She became more and more excited as she spoke. She simply stood up and prepared to walk out without waiting for Zhu Yanxiao to speak. After a pause, she added.
"That's right. I can probably guess about 80% of the way you are pursuing women by looking at your methods. Forget it. I don't want to go to the Burning Shadow Hall. What does the past between the prince and the eldest lady of the Zhou family have to do with an outsider like Shenshen?"
Seeing that she was about to leave, Zhu Yanxiao immediately reached out to pull her: "God, I don't think too much about it. It's all in the past, why does Miss Shen continue to pester me?"
"The prince has gone, but may I ask if Miss Zhou has gone? She just said she was engaged to you, and the invitation to flower viewing arrived the next day, but the prince has not mentioned a single word about dating me. Zhu Yanxiao, I am your girlfriend."
Zhu Yanxiao suppressed his anger and tried to stay calm as he held onto Shen Shenshen.
"Shenshen, I still prefer you to call me Ziyuan. As for Yunxi... whether Miss Zhou has let it go or not has nothing to do with me. Since I have cut off all contact with her, I will have no connection with her in the future. So, Shenshen, you really don't need to care about her."
Shen Shenshen looked down at his wrist which was held by a slender hand with distinct knuckles, then looked up at Zhu Yanxiao and said.
"Sir, one last question. If the Queen Mother had not passed away five years ago, would you and Miss Zhou have gotten married? In other words, have you ever planned to get married?"
After hearing this question, Zhu Yanxiao understood that this was the key point that Shen Shenshen cared about.
If two people loved each other in the past, one would be willing to marry the other, just like they are in love now. The stronger the relationship was, the more regrettable it is now. Shen Shenshen is a person who is extremely insecure about feelings. It is inevitable that he thinks that he is so heartless now. Will Zhou Yunxi now be her in the future?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yanxiao let go of Shen Shenshen's wrist.
In fact, he was still a little uncomfortable with the strong personality of this girl whose soul was from another world.
Since he was a child, he knew that he was extremely handsome and had an extraordinary family background. No matter where he was, he was treated like a star by all the women in Dongxiang. Therefore, he was the absolute leader in everything, including who he liked and who he didn't like.
He had liked Zhou Yunxi before. She was chosen by him among all the noble ladies who admired him because she was beautiful and smart. It was easy to talk to Zhou Yunxi. She was absolutely obedient to him and occasionally showed some temper. He knew that she was smart, understood his preferences, and knew how to make him feel most comfortable with her.
Zhu Yanxiao had never thought about whether he loved Zhou Yunxi. He had a heart-beating moment, but was he really in love with her? Before he met Shen Shenshen, he thought that a wife should regard her husband as the heaven and the Prince's Mansion as the most important thing. So, if it weren't for the sudden death of his grandmother, they should have been married and had children.
But Shen Shenshen is completely different.
Zhu Yanxiao had never met a woman who was so smart, bold and interesting. She only pursued her own life and even wanted to get rid of the shackles of her family, live the life she wanted, be herself and love herself. Such a woman was too dazzling in Zhu Yanxiao's eyes.
At the same time, she was very straightforward in expressing her love or dislike for men and women, and even coveted her body without any status. Isn't status the most important thing for the daughter of a noble family? Just like Zhou Yunxi, who spent all her efforts just for the title of a prince's consort.
It was this dazzling and unique Shen Shenshen that made him feel curious and fresh at first, and then he got to know her and fell in love with her completely. Zhu Yanxiao understood from Shen Shenshen what it means to fall in love with someone, to miss her, to be jealous, to feel distressed, to dote on her, and to want to give her the whole world.
Shen Shenshen burst into tears after Zhu Yanxiao let go of her wrist. She turned her head away, not wanting to show the man in front of her how embarrassed and unpromising she was. She raised her hand and wiped away her tears fiercely, but the tears were not obedient and immediately flowed out quickly, flowing faster and faster. She had to keep wiping with her fingers, palms, and the back of her hands, but it felt like she could never wipe them away.
Shen Shenshen hated herself for the heartache and tears she shed for a man. But she was also glad that she met a man who made her heart ache and cry. Love and pain are actually good.
Zhu Yanxiao looked at Shen Shenshen's stubborn and uncomfortable appearance, and felt his heart aching and soft. He stood up and wanted to hug her in his arms.
Shen Shenshen immediately stepped back, avoiding the embrace that once made her extremely happy: "Ziyuan." She sniffed her red nose, and spoke in a crying voice, trying to keep her tone calm.
"You and I have very different ideas about many things."
Zhu Yanxiao stood where he was, not moving forward to hug her, and said gently, "Shenshen, what do you want to know? This prince can tell you everything. This kind of thing will never happen again in the future."
"Ziyuan, please listen to me. In my eighteen years and your twenty-three years, the growing environment is completely different. Due to the different time and space, different culture, and different cognition. The prince and I should calm down and think carefully about whether the other party is the right person for this life and whether it is suitable for each other to accompany each other for life. Or, the cooperation with Heyinlou will end here today. Of course, I will be responsible until the opening, and all plans will be completed. Ziyuan can rest assured."
"This prince, I don't agree." Zhu Yanxiao gritted his teeth. He just realized that he fell in love with her, how could he let her go.
"I don't need anyone's consent to make my decision. I have the final say in my own life. Ziyuan, you see, this is the difference between us. Regarding your engagement, Prince Zhong's Mansion can announce to the public that Miss Shen has a bad moral character and has been having an affair with someone else, and the Mansion wants to cancel the engagement."
Zhu Yanxiaofeng had some disbelief in his eyes, and said, "God knows what he is talking about? There are siblings in the Marquis' Mansion who have not yet married."
Shen Shen whispered: "This lady is very selfish and does not want to marry for the so-called family. My life is my own and has nothing to do with anyone else."
Zhu Yanxiao responded with silence.
"So, to thank Ziyuan for loving me, giving me gifts, and saving me once, this is the last thing I can do for you." After saying that, she smiled and said self-deprecatingly, "Alas, Shen Shenshen, you are really too soft-hearted, you are a love-brained person with no future."
Zhu Yanxiao immediately said, "There is no past. This prince has always loved you." He was a little scared, feeling that the woman in front of him was going to leave him and never see him again in this life: "This prince, I don't agree. Shenshen, don't even think about canceling the engagement, and don't even think about cooperating with Heyinlou."
"I'll say it again, it's my own life, and I have the final say." At this time, Shen Shenshen's eyes were red and swollen, but she had regained her confidence and her eyes were sparkling.
Such a woman has a fatal attraction to any man, including Zhu Yanxiao.
"By the way, Ziyuan, there's no need to come looking for me. I haven't figured out what happened today. If Heyinlou has something to ask and ask Xingyun or Liushui, I will answer them all. If you really want me to come... that's fine too." Shen Shenshen was polite and courteous.
Zhu Yanxiao spoke each word carefully: "Just because of Zhou Yunxi, Second Miss Shen doesn't even want to see this prince?"
"What the prince thinks has nothing to do with me."
Zhu Yanxiao now felt that he had no place to vent his immense anger.
Shen Shenshen thought for a while with red eyes: "Let's say goodbye in the way of my original world." Looking at Zhu Yanxiao's angry expression, he showed a polite and friendly smile after the end of their cooperation in the previous life, stretched out his right hand, took the left hand of the man standing opposite him and gently shook it.
"Zhu Yanxiao, goodbye."
