Chapter 294: No Marriage
From the day Shen Jingxuan met Jiang Shaoying, she never knew she was so stubborn.
She knew that some things could not be forced, but she was still unwilling to give up.
Shen Jingxuan wanted to remind her that there shouldn't be only men in her life, she also had a father like Marquis Zhongyong, and friends like herself and Chen Yi.
But seeing how determined she was, he didn't say it in the end.
Shen Jingxuan suddenly felt that she should not pour cold water on her at this moment, for she was afraid of losing the last ray of light in Jiang Shaoying's eyes.
The two of them said nothing more and fell asleep on the bed without realizing it.
In Lingxuyuan's bedroom, Xie Lingxiao was finally able to enter the room, but found it was pitch black.
It was not until he reached the edge of the bed that he realized the lady he had been thinking about was not in the room.
"Ling Qiong, where is the princess?" Xie Lingxiao asked coldly.
Ling Qiong's eyes flickered: "The princess said she would stay with Miss Jiang today."
Thinking of what Shen Jingxuan had just said to her, the corners of Ling Qiong's lips gradually curled up.
Xie Lingxiao asked Ling Qiong to leave and lay on the bed with a sad look on his face.
I thought that after marrying Shen Jingxuan, they could be together all day long.
Unexpectedly, after the two of them had spent a few days in peace, Shen Jingxuan kicked him out of the bedroom.
Xie Lingxiao didn't even know why Shen Jingxuan was so angry.
He wanted to admit his mistake and coax her, but Shen Jingxuan didn't give him a chance.
Xie Lingxiao lay on the bed for a long time, gritting his teeth secretly.
Tomorrow, no matter what, he will coax Shen Jingxuan back. He doesn't want to continue staying alone in the empty room.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh at the horror of habit.
He had long been accustomed to having Shen Jingxuan by his side, and now he had been alone for two days in a row, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
The next morning, after Xie Lingxiao had packed up, he waited for Shen Jingxuan to return to her room to change clothes and have dinner with her.
This time he was disappointed again, because the person he had been waiting for for a long time was standing at the city gate with Jiang Shaoying.
Shen Jingxuan warned: "Amo, be careful on the way and take care of yourself."
"Yeah." Yun Qingmo responded.
He handed the brocade box in his hand to Shen Jingxuan: "This is your portion of the silver. I just sorted it out yesterday."
Although it was said to be yesterday, in fact, Qianyu Chamber of Commerce settles the accounts every month and delivers them to Shen Jingxuan on time.
Only this time, he didn't send someone to deliver it to her in time.
Yun Qingmo wanted to hand it to Shen Jingxuan personally, as he was afraid that he would never have the chance to meet her like this again in the future.
Shen Jingxuan pushed the brocade box back to him: "Keep it for now. When you go out, you should always keep some money with you."
The day before the wedding, Yun Qingmo had already given him a lot of banknotes, so how could she ask for more now?
"Axuan, don't worry about me. I have no shortage of money."
He is no longer the young man who was kicked out of the mansion at will.
Now that he is the master of Qianyu Chamber of Commerce, with shops spread across most of Beiling Country, how could he be short of these things?
The only thing he lacks is someone to spend his whole life with.
But that person had already gone far away, leaving him unable to do anything but watch from afar.
"Okay." Shen Jingxuan responded.
She did not continue to refuse, but looked at Jiang Shaoying while holding the brocade box.
But she lowered her head, said nothing, and no one knew what she was thinking about.
"Ying'er, I'll wait for you over there." After saying that, she walked towards the city gate.
Shen Jingxuan knew that Jiang Shaoying was stubborn, and she also knew that she must have something to say to Yun Qingmo, but looking at the two of them, she sighed softly.
Yun Qingmo watched Shen Jingxuan walking further and further away, his eyes fixed on her, full of reluctance.
When Shen Jingxuan stopped and turned around, he withdrew his gaze in time and looked at Jiang Shaoying.
"Miss Jiang?"
Jiang Shaoying hesitated for a moment and said, "I've thought it through."
As she spoke, she slowly raised her head and looked at Yun Qingmo: "I won't give up, even if you don't like me now, it doesn't matter."
"I will wait, and I will try my best to make you like me."
Yun Qingmo frowned slightly: "Miss Jiang, you can't force feelings, why waste your precious time."
"I said yesterday that I have no plans to get married."
Jiang Shaoying thought of Yun Qingmo's words yesterday, and her eyes became red again.
The two of them didn't talk much yesterday. Yun Qingmo's few simple words left Jiang Shaoying speechless.
Yun Qingmo has been traveling around doing business and has met all kinds of people, so how could he not see what Jiang Shaoying was thinking?
She only asked shyly, "Mr. Yun, is there a girl you like?" and then she never had the chance to speak again.
Yun Qingmo not only told her that he had no plans to get married, but also said that he never planned to marry or have children in his life.
"I will make you change your mind. If, in the end, I still don't make you like me..."
Jiang Shaoying looked into the distance and murmured, "Then I will be with you and never get married."
She plucked up her courage, hugged Yun Qingmo, turned around and left quickly.
The moment she turned around, the tears she had been holding back fell. Jiang Shaoying ignored the tears, straightened her back and strode towards Shen Jingxuan.
This was a decision she had thought about all night.
Since she couldn't get his love, she would stay with him and would not marry him unless he did.
Yun Qingmo was shocked by Jiang Shaoying's words. Although she whispered softly, it sounded like a deafening sound in his ears.
He looked at the woman who was walking away, and it seemed as if he saw himself, which made him feel a little guilty for a moment.
Yun Qingmo was silent for a long time, then turned and left.
He did nothing and has nothing to feel guilty about.
They all have their own choices and their own obsessions. If they want to blame someone, they can only blame the fate that made them meet too late and understand each other too late.
At the city gate, Shen Jingxuan held Jiang Shaoying's hand, and the two of them watched Yun Qingmo's figure gradually disappear into the distance.
Jiang Shaoying stared at the figure closely, tears streaming down her face.
I don’t know when we will meet again, and I don’t know if another figure will appear by his side as time passes.
And there was nothing she could do except wait.
Yun Qingmo walked a long way, turned around to look at the figure in front of the city gate, and resolutely turned and left.
Since I can't be the person in her heart, it's better to be the person behind her. At least I can give her support when she needs it.
Yun Qingmo left.
Shen Jingxuan looked at the figure disappearing at the end, feeling reluctant.
Although they are best friends and partners, Shen Jingxuan feels that he is more like a brother who always takes good care of her.
Thinking that he had rushed from afar just to give her a wedding gift, but in just a few days, he had to embark on a long journey again, Shen Jingxuan felt sorry for him.
Yun Qingmo keeps moving forward for his dream. I don’t know when he will stop to rest and look at the people around him who are crying for him. I don’t know when he will stop running around and live a relaxed and comfortable life.
Shen Jingxuan pulled Jiang Shaoying into the city. Seeing that she had calmed down, she gradually felt relieved.
"Ying'er, don't change anything for others. You are good the way you are."
Jiang Shaoying thought everything through, and her state of mind changed a lot. Just like just now, she took the initiative to hug Yun Qingmo, which was something she had never dared to think about before.
She smiled at Shen Jingxuan and said confidently: "Ah Xuan, he can't escape."
