Chapter 573 No One Will Stand Still Waiting for You
Seeing that Du Chengze didn't say anything, Gu Xi thought of what happened in the past and she seemed to like him very much.
But so what!
Time waits for no one, and human hearts are the most unpredictable.
When he hesitated again and again about his feelings for her, she would make the decision directly, as decisively as she would go into battle to kill the enemy.
So what's the point of him saying this now?
Gu Xi did not let him go because of his silence, and continued coldly: "Are you naive enough to think that as long as you are willing to look back, that person will definitely wait for you there forever?"
"This world will go on without anyone, no one will stand there waiting for you."
Facing the eldest princess' questioning, a trace of pain and regret flashed across Du Chengze's face.
He took a deep breath, slowly raised his head, and fixed his eyes on Gu Xi's.
Sincerely said: "I know that my indecision has caused you great harm, and I regret it deeply. So, I sincerely hope to spend the rest of my life to make up for the mistakes I have made. Is this okay?"
After saying that, Du Chengze looked into Gu Xi's eyes expectantly, hoping to catch even the slightest hint of surprise or emotion in them.
However, to his disappointment, he could not see the slightest emotion in Gu Xi's beautiful eyes.
He couldn't help but feel a brief panic in his heart, and thought to himself: Is everything really irreversible?
Gu Xi's face was as cold as ice, and he looked at the person in front of him with indifference, and slowly uttered cold words: "The things you miss are as cheap as weeds on the roadside, and have no value at all."
"We are destined to have no more intersection and possibility in this life! What's more, my daughter has been found now. She is all the light and warmth in my life. Nothing can compare to the happiness I have at this moment."
At this point, Gu Xi paused for a moment, as if trying to recall what happened between them in the past. Suddenly, she realized that she couldn't remember anything about him at all.
But he soon regained his composure and continued, "As for you, many years ago when I decided to accept Lan Yi, I had already completely let go of my feelings for you. All the things that happened in the past have long since become a thing of the past, drifting away with the wind."
Du Chengze asked unwillingly, "He's been gone for so many years, can't you let him go?"
Gu Xi couldn't help but smile as she thought of Lan Yi: "Yes, he is the only one in my life. Even if he is gone, he will always live in my heart."
Gu Xi's words were like silver needles piercing Du Chengze's heart. The pain was very similar to the heart-wrenching pain she felt when she got married.
He thought so many years had passed.
Her daughter has also been found and will let go of the past.
I have indeed let it go, but I have completely let go of my feelings for him.
It seemed like there was no room left for him at all.
Du Chengze frowned and wanted to say something else?
But his throat seemed to be blocked and he couldn't utter a single word.
Gu Xi looked at him and decided to explain things to him clearly this time.
It's pitiful to see him still without a successor at his age.
Seeing that he didn't say anything else, she turned around and left.
A sad smile appeared on Du Chengze's lips.
He thought...
still have a chance?
He never thought that Lan Yi held such an important position in her heart.
At first, he thought she married Lan Yi just to make him angry, but he didn't expect that she really loved him.
Looking at her back, he really didn't feel any reluctance at all. After all, she would not care about his sadness.
After a long time, Dean Bai's voice finally rang in my ears: "It's all in the past, just let it go! It's good for both you and her."
Du Chengze wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth he didn't know how to express his current mood.
I have been thinking about her all these years.
Although she did not leave the house, she still had hope in her heart.
But now!
There is no hope at all.
It feels like there's a huge emptiness in my heart.
At this moment, even though the sun was shining on my body, it felt like my body was covered in ice.
county house
Shen Xia returned Song's mother's things.
Then let Jixiang send Yifan back to Xiaotian.
She returned to the yard.
Looking at Ruyi: "Where are Fengqi and Fengyu!"
"I didn't see them since I came back."
"Oh, you ask them both to come and see me."
"Yes, ma'am."
Shen Xia thought that the matters of the academy had made the princess mother worried, so she planned to talk to the two of them and not tell everything to her mother.
I made my mother worry again.
After a while, Ruyi still hadn't come back.
Shen Xia was curious about what was going on. Usually Feng Qi and Feng Yu were not far from her yard.
Shen Xia saw that no one came.
He took out the whistle from his neck and blew it lightly.
Then a man in black who I had seen before came out: "Why are you here again? Where is Li Yi?"
"The master has gone to find someone for the lady."
Shen Xia nodded: "Okay!" Why did you leave without telling her?
In fact, when she was in danger in the morning, she instinctively felt that Li Yi was not around.
Seeing that Shen Xia didn't speak, the man asked, "Madam, do you have anything else to say?"
"No, go down!"
After the man left.
Ruyi just came back, but she didn't look very well.
Shen Xia was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Ruyi asked, "Are Fengqi and Fengyu resting in the backyard?"
"what happened?"
"It seems that they were punished by the princess because they almost failed to protect the lady this morning. The injuries are quite serious and it may take a few days for them to recover. The princess has sent two more people to protect the lady."
Shen Xia took a deep breath and asked again: "Where is the injury?"
"He was beaten with twenty sticks."
After Shen Xia heard this, she felt like she was being slapped on the butt.
Then he turned and returned to the room.
Take out some gold medicine.
Then he asked Ruyi: "Where do they live?"
Ruyi said, "In a courtyard in the south."
"Okay, take me there."
Ruyi was surprised: "Madam, you have to go in person!"
"Well, I'll go and see if the injury is serious. Today was an accident and no one expected it." Shen Xia said.
She had never expected that the two of them would be beaten so badly just because of this one incident.
In fact, Shen Xia didn't know that the punishment from the eldest princess was already light.
Ruyi took Shen Xia and walked towards the south yard.
There are two courtyards here.
Feng Qi and Feng Yu lived in the same yard with the guards.
After Shen Xia came in, there were still many people practicing martial arts in the yard.
The guards take turns on duty, so those who are not on duty are resting.
They were all surprised to see the princess coming.
All stood up straight: "Greetings, Princess."
Shen Xia looked at everyone and said, "Just do your own things, don't worry about me."
Someone whispered, "The princess is here to see Boss Feng and the others, right?"
Another person nodded and said, "Yes! The county master is really nice. Didn't I hear that the boss and his men were punished because they failed to provide adequate protection?"
"That's right, the princess is really beautiful and kind-hearted!"
"The princess is so nice to the boss and the others." A young guard was envious.
There are really not many masters who take human lives as their own.
Everyone looks at me and I look at him.
Later, a manager saw it and said, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and practice."
