Chapter 822 How Patient You Need
"understood."
"That……"
"Hey," Xie Ying raised her hand to stop him, took the teacup from him and drank the tea, "Even so, falling in love with someone you shouldn't love is a calamity we should endure."
Qing Chang'an smiled. It was the first time he saw Xie Ying acting so relaxed and natural in front of him.
In her heart, she had already regarded him as a thing of the past.
Xie Ying also smiled, looked at Qing Changan and said seriously: "To be honest, you have your tribulations, and I have mine."
"Really? It's impossible?" He was still thinking about what would happen in the future if Xiao Chen still wouldn't fall in love.
Xie Ying thought about it and did not answer him directly, but asked in return: "If a girl who loves you very much appears now, no need to say if, your Tongfang Mengchun, can you accept her and fall in love with her?"
Qing Chang'an opened his mouth, his heart aching, of course not.
He hated Mengchun!
He hated her for ruining his marriage. His Ah Ying had indeed gone far away. Now they were -
Perhaps as a close friend, I can leave a mark in her life in the future.
"Your expression tells me that you won't fall in love with that person, right?" Xie Ying asked with a smile.
Qing Changan nodded, "You make sense."
He looked at Xie Ying, "Speaking of feelings, perhaps, we really can't force it."
Qing Changan also poured himself a cup of flower tea, looked at his beloved woman, and made a painful decision, "Then I wish that we can both survive this love tribulation smoothly and happily."
Seeing the generosity in his eyes, Xie Ying smiled knowingly, "Cheers." She took the initiative to clink glasses.
Qing Changan also said: "Cheers."
The teacups clinked and the two smiled at each other.
"Now tell me what happened to you. I noticed that you didn't seem very happy after you came out of Gezhizhai."
Xie Ying didn't understand the man's thoughts, so she told Qing Chang'an about what happened today, except for those words that she said too proactively, and picked out some words that she could say.
After hearing this, Qing Changan’s heart felt a little uneasy.
"What's wrong?" Xie Ying asked.
Qing Changan smiled bitterly, "His Royal Highness Prince Chen accepted Xie Shanxiang's pillow and sachet, which doesn't mean anything, but he accepted your handkerchief."
Xie Ying's face felt slightly hot.
After all, she was so proactive, and everyone understood what her intentions were.
Qing Changan smiled and said, "You don't have to feel shy. There's nothing wrong with actively pursuing someone you like. Haha, this can also be considered as an excuse for myself."
He liked Xie Ying, actively pursued her, and did many, many things. There is nothing to be ashamed of!
"But he has never refused my approach. Will the handkerchief be the same as before?"
Qing Changan was a little angry when he heard this, "He never refuses?"
"Ah."
"You didn't accept it either?"
"Ah."
Qing Changan was a little angry, "If I were His Royal Highness Prince Chen, I would accept or refuse. Is this too much for a girl like you?"
Xie Ying: “…”
"Could he have any other difficulties?"
Xie Ying said: "He once said that he didn't know if he was someone who could get along with women."
Qing Changan was speechless: "..."
But thinking about the fact that Xiao Chen had been traveling around the world with Master Changkong since he was a child, and after returning to Beijing, he entered the Taoist sect, such a person is indeed not suitable for the relationship between men and women in the mortal world.
"Miss, we're here." Mingzhu's voice came.
Ada also stopped the carriage.
Mingzhu knocked on the carriage door three times before opening it, "Miss, we're here."
Xie Ying nodded and looked at Qing Changan, "Thank you very much."
"It's okay. His Royal Highness Prince Chen is not an ordinary person. You have to be more patient." Qing Chang'an said with a smile.
"Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
After watching Xie Ying return home, Qing Changan's smiling face fell. A Ying was so proactive, but Xiao Chen was indifferent?
No, that's not right.
He must have had some ulterior motive in accepting the handkerchief.
"Go back home." Qing Chang'an said.
"Return to the Prime Minister's Mansion, or——"
"In my own house."
"Yes."
Ada drove the carriage back, staggering.
After returning to the Qing Mansion, Qing Chang'an put aside his strength, locked himself in the room, and carefully recalled every moment with Aying.
Until those possible images of being together become blurred.
It was completely dark.
"Sir, please have some dinner." Ada's voice came from outside the door.
This was the first time Ada knocked on the door.
Qing Chang'an stood up and opened the door.
Ada hurriedly said, "Sir, eat your fill and turn on the lights in the house."
Qing Chang'an smiled bitterly. How could he eat that?
If his intuition was correct, Xiao Chen must have fallen in love with Aying, and his expectations were completely shattered.
"grown ups?"
Ada was holding the tray and wanted to bring it into the house, but Qing Changan walked out.
He had no choice but to wave his hand and ask the servant to bring the tray, and followed Qing Chang'an not far away until he saw Qing Chang'an walking towards the deserted yard in the backyard.
Are you going to find Mengchun?
The backyard was dark.
Not even a lantern was lit.
Ada said, "Master, wait a moment."
Qing Chang'an stood in front of the courtyard gate. He thought of what Aying said, if Mengchun loved him very much, could he accept it and fall in love with Mengchun!
Haha, how is that possible!
Ada found two portable lanterns, and when the two lanterns were combined, the road ahead became clearer.
The gate of the yard is locked. It is easy to get in from the outside, but it is impossible to get out from the inside.
After Qing Chang'an opened the door, Mengchun had already heard the noise. She cried out, "Sir, is that you?"
Then, Mengchun stood in front of the house. In the dim light, one could see that Mengchun's belly was bulging.
"Sir, it's really you."
Mengchun's voice was filled with tears, "I thought you would never appear again, but I know I was wrong."
Meng Chun ran a few steps towards Qing Chang'an, then knelt down in front of him, "Sir, please forgive me this time."
"Forgive you!" Qing Chang'an bit his back teeth, his voice icy and chilling.
Ada stood aside holding a lantern, his expression unrecognizable and he remained silent.
Mengchun said: "What did I do wrong? My Lord suddenly drove me away. I found out I was pregnant. This is your blood. How dare I give birth outside?"
Qing Changan clenched his fists, "Then you shouldn't have run to Aying! You deserve to die!"
If it weren't for Aying's sake, he really wanted to strangle the person in front of him to death!
"My Lord, I really know I was wrong—"
"You know you are wrong, but I have lost Aying forever. She will never come back. She has left me forever!"
Qing Changan pinched Mengchun's chin and said, "What should I do with you? You deserve to die!"
The cold reproach was like an ice knife piercing Mengchun's heart, "Sir——"
Looking at Mengchun's face in the dim light and her voice that made him want to vomit, Qing Changan grabbed her neck with his big hands, "Can admitting my mistakes make my Aying come back? Can admitting my mistakes make Aying and I grow old together? If I admit my mistakes, will all this never have happened!"
"Sir..." Mengchun was so frightened that she hugged Qing Changan's hands with both hands, but she couldn't push them away.
