Chapter 422 Meeting with a close friend

Chapter 422 Meeting with a close friend

The sight is filled with colorful flowers. The garden of Prince Chen's Mansion was specially modified to imitate Yuexi Mansion.

Prince Chen is always keen on doing such useless things. He seems to be infatuated, but in fact he is extremely cold towards Princess Yuexi.

Lin Mu casually admired the scenery, with an imperceptible contempt in his eyes.

"Everyone else thinks that I met the Secret Attendant Gao after I met Princess Yuexi. In fact, we first met when we were young."

"At that time, she didn't know her background; I also didn't know that the person I had arranged to marry was her. Therefore, I couldn't publicly admit that I knew her well; I didn't dare to break the promise of the engagement and bring shame to my family."

"Unconsciously, we grew up. Two years ago, after her birthday, she came to see me with great joy and told me that she was of marriageable age and was willing to marry me."

"I asked her why she wanted to marry into the Lin family. She said that after we got married, we would be together and it would be legitimate. She wanted to go for a walk with me at night. Even if we had to go for a walk in the dead of night, she felt clear in her heart and no longer felt that our relationship was something that could not be revealed to others."

Thinking that she was Ning Yunxi's close friend, Gu Nianting nodded deeply and took the initiative to speak well of her.

"I know that she is a pure person. Her answer must be from the heart."

After that, he asked.

"Do you agree?"

Lin Mu imitated Gu Nianting's expression just now and acted regretful and ashamed.

"As the prince said, I also sternly refuse."

Gu Nianting was surprised and asked further questions.

"what?"

"You have known each other for many years. I can tell that you are not without affection for her. Why do you refuse?"

Lin Mu lowered his eyes, a look of helplessness in his eyes.

"Because I'm engaged. The Gao and Lin families have a deep friendship. I've known since I was a child that even if Miss Gao Er can't be found, I can't marry someone else for emotional reasons."

Gu Nianting listened anxiously.

"If that's the case, why bother getting to know each other? It would be better to treat each other as strangers after getting to know each other and never have any contact with each other again. If you get involved with her, in the end, wouldn't it just be playing with her feelings?"

Lin Mu pretended to be deeply in love but had no choice, and almost replicated Gu Nianting's every move.

"That was my initial thought, but...how could I bear to leave if I was truly in love with you?"

Seeing this, Gu Nianting understood very well.

"Ah, that's right, true love is indeed hard to part with."

Thinking of Xier's indignation and rage, he changed the subject and spoke in a helpless and bewildered tone.

"But, after being hurt like this, she will inevitably bear a grudge and won't be able to let it go for a long time."

"By the way, did she forgive you later?"

Lin Mu replied according to the plan.

"Well, I'm forgiven now."

Gu Nianting was surprised and delighted, and couldn't help asking for advice.

"What did you do, why did she choose to forgive you?"

Lin Mu answered calmly.

"I didn't do anything. I just waited for her for two years without disturbing each other. I just waited for her to figure it out on her own."

After saying this, Lin Mu was shocked to realize an omission, but fortunately, Gu Nianting couldn't hear any clues.

"It's so simple, can you coax her?"

Lin Mu spoke every word as if it were true.

"Yes. I heard her say that women are all like this. If they are always harassed by others, they will get annoyed. It's better for them to just be alone."

The solution was easy, so Gu Nianting was naturally willing to believe it.

"No wonder I couldn't coax her, it turns out it was because of the entanglement."

Lin Mu used metaphors to convey Ning Yunxi's meaning.

"That's right. She said that Princess Yuexi especially hates people who keep pestering her."

Gu Nianting had no doubt.

"Yes, that's true. She grew up with Xi'er and knows Xi'er's temperament best."

On second thought, the situation was different and he couldn't help but worry.

"but……"

"You don't want to break the engagement, but you have no choice but to let her down, which is understandable. Xi'er may not understand the mistakes I made."

Lin Mu smiled and tried to comfort her.

"We both refuse to walk at night. This is a trivial matter. Your Majesty, please be at ease. The princess will surely laugh it off."

Thinking back to Xier's words over and over again, Gu Nianting felt extremely guilty.

"You don't know, this is not the only thing I have done wrong."

What he thought and did were nothing but some unlucky things. Lin Mu knew it without even thinking about it and sneered inwardly.

"Appreciate further details."

Gu Nianting gazed into the depths of the bamboo forest, missing the people of the past.

"From the time we got married last year to the time we divorced this year, during this period, I used countless harsh words, such as when you refused to leave at night."

"Besides that, there is the previous life."

Hearing the key point, Lin Mu was a little caught off guard.

"Previous life?"

He was shocked in his heart.

Prince Chen, like the princess, is also a reborn person?

The princess has never mentioned this matter.

If he still had the memories of his past life, wouldn't he have seen through the plan long ago and is just taking advantage of it now?

wrong.

How could you get nothing by playing the opponent against you? Just tell me the truth directly.

In the previous life, Lord Ning had never followed Prince Dijin, so we must not have used this strategy. Therefore, Prince Chen must have been kept in the dark and was unaware of it.

Gu Nianting did not hide his feelings and told the story.

"she says……"

After hearing this, Lin Mu realized that he was not a reborn person, and he felt relieved.

Princess, how can you keep silent when you are explaining the future to this person? What if I fail to cooperate... Princess really thinks highly of me.

While he was talking, he was thinking about how to deal with the situation.

"To be honest, Mr. Gao also had a past life. I didn't mention it just now because I didn't want to scare His Majesty. Unexpectedly, you and I have similar experiences."

"I think they are the master and the subordinate, and they are reborn together."

Gu Nianting was surprised again.

"Oh?"

"I never thought that we would have the same ideas despite our different minds and different goals."

He couldn't wait to ask.

"Did you get along happily in your previous life?"

The plan failed, Lin Mu sighed in disappointment and gave himself more time to think.

"Ugh--"

His sighs sounded filled with infinite melancholy, and Gu Nianting immediately showed concern.

"Why do you sigh so deeply?"

Lin Mu paced under the tree, bent down to pick up a fallen petal, pretending to look at it carefully, but actually pondering.

Gu Nianting waited patiently, fully understanding his emotions.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Mu came up with a speech.

"In her previous life, Master Gao had no idea that she was a descendant of the Gao family. Therefore, she never returned to the Gao Mansion and was always the princess' maid."

"She said that I was determined not to marry her and was cruel and heartless. Until the end, when she protected me from an arrow and died on the spot, she never heard a single word of deep love from me. She was really jealous and resentful."

The experiences of the two were almost the same, Gu Nianting felt the same way and asked immediately.

"She is willing to forgive after all this?"

Lin Mu's eyes were determined.

"Yes."

Gu Nianting confirmed and asked again.

"By waiting for the right time, the contradiction can be resolved?"

Lin Mu threw away the fallen flowers and answered at the same time.

"Yes."

A glimmer of hope ignited in his heart, and Gu Nianting couldn't help but smile.

"How can I resolve the feeling of longing?"

Lin Mu returned to the strategy itself by sharing his insights.

“You can spend time with your family or meet up with your best friends.”

"For the former, it is natural to show filial piety. As for the latter, firstly, you can choose like-minded friends, so that you can have pleasant conversations with them; secondly, you can choose friends who are similar to lovers, and practice the art of getting along with them when you make friends with them. When your lover changes his or her mind, you can seize the opportunity in one fell swoop."

Gu Nianting nodded repeatedly, fully agreeing.

"Yes. Your sincere words touch my heart and are better than my own thousands of thoughts and still can't find the right method."

He looked at Lin Mu and already regarded him as a close friend.

“It is imperative to practice how to get along with each other.”
