Crown Jewels

Chapter 248 Extra Fifteen Hmm... I Like It
Taohua Tong smiled, and when he repeated patiently again, his tone was coaxing.

"If you really plan to get married, you might as well consider me, how about it?"

Song Leyi's pupils were wide open, and she subconsciously rubbed her ears with her fingers. This time, she was very sure that she heard correctly. What he meant by this was... want to marry her?Wanting to understand this layer, the little girl opened her pink lips wide, surprised to be able to stuff a whole walnut.

The little girl has fair skin, almond eyes dream of this layer of water mist, the pink dress adds a touch of charm to her, and the tip of the nose is also stained with a thin red.

Qi Yuan saw her surprised expression and sighed silently.

Originally suppressed in the bottom of my heart, the moment when the restrained emotions were about to burst out, Qi Yuan was afraid of frightening her. The tumbling friendship in his peach blossom pupils was suppressed, but the scene on the back of his hand couldn't hide the beating. In the cabin, the flames of candlelight It was moving, with a scorching temperature.

The cool wind in the center of the lake flowed along the skylight, and with Qi Yuan's clear voice pouring in, Song Leyi's bewildered head was finally able to turn slowly.

"Although the Qi family is not a famous family, the ancestors are also considered a scholarly family—"

Qi Yuan's tone paused slightly, and he looked at Song Leyi with a coaxing tone.

After all, he was born at the second place in the Jinshi list, Qi Yuan sketched out a definite blueprint for Song Leyi in a few words, which is really coveted.

"If you marry me, you will be on duty in the palace in the future. With me around, you will not dare to be obstructed. It turns out that you are Shangyi in the palace. After you marry me, apart from your identity as Mrs. Qingqi of Zeng Dali Temple, you are still the same. It's your court official, Shangyi."

Qi Yuan said firmly, "There will be no change in this point!"

"The Qi family has no parents who need to serve, it can save you a lot of energy, and you can concentrate on handling matters in the palace—"

"And, between you and me, you can barely say that you know everything?"

After Qi Yuan finished speaking, her peach blossom pupils flickered slightly, her face was bright and Feng Jiyue didn't urge her but just waited patiently.

The breeze and the bright moon seep in from the skylight, and the night is cool, but the palms of the hands are already sweating lightly.

Qi Yuan, who was in charge of settling prison lawsuits on weekdays and who was in the third grade, unexpectedly had such nervous and apprehensive moments.

Qi Yuan didn't dare to be sloppy, and carefully observed the little girl's reaction. It was the first time in his life that he introduced himself so straightforwardly.

He had thought about these words three or four times in advance, all based on Song Leyi's own situation and needs.

From the perspective of a bystander, he didn't think he would be rejected, but when it was his turn, even though he had rehearsed it thousands of times in his heart, he was still afraid that the conditions were not good enough, that she would dislike him for being too old, and even more afraid that she would think he was a beast , He actually set his mind on her and avoided him in the future.

Song Leyi was a little dumbfounded. Indeed, every condition of Qi Yuan seemed to be on her point, and, most importantly, the person who said this to her was Qi Yuan!
It was Song Leyi's girlhood, the one she quietly hid in her heart and dared not speak to others.

"Qi... Brother Qi, you, do you like me?"

The tune from the lake outside the window was melodious, Song Leyi slowed down her breathing, and had already left the string sound in her mind. A few or two sentences jumped lightly.

Heartstrings are so easily influenced, Song Leyi secretly scolded herself for being spineless.

But she also clearly understood that the vigorous love in her youth had always belonged to her alone, and only she knew about the chaos.

As far as he is concerned, he has never known it, so why ask him to empathize with him?

But even so...even if hope is rekindled from the ashes, Song Leyi still doesn't like herself now, she hopes that she can live a free and easy life, instead of being easily pinched by others like now, just because Qi Yuanjian is simple With just a few words, he was easily moved by his emotions.

Song Leyi's eyelashes trembled, her fingertips pricked across the pink skirt, and she drew light embroidery threads for no reason, protesting silently.

If what he said, this so-called marriage, what he planned in the end was only... those, and he didn't like it at all——

Well, she also has her pride!

Song Leyi promised that she would not be so cheap and completely lose herself.

The sound of the zither outside the window suddenly became rapid, like jade beads falling into a silver plate, and with the sound of patter, the light from the lamp shone into the peach blossom pupils and flickered.

Shuo's jumping emotions are turbulent. At this moment, Qi Yuan can clearly feel the wanton beating heart in his chest. He is obsessed with Song Leyi these years, and he has longed for the love between men and women, but he has never been like this. Overwhelmed by such strange emotions.

The thoughts in his heart were magnified since that day, and Qi Yuan knew that the relationship between him and Song Leyi could no longer return to the past.

Because the original caring and pity has quietly deteriorated, he pushes forward, wants more, madly, possesses, wants.

The corners of his eyes were slightly red, and the veins in his temples were throbbing. Qi Yuan's eyes darkened for a moment, and the corners of his lips twitched. Impulsively, he wanted to tell her the truth, that's right, Qi Yuan likes Song Leyi!Want to marry her, want her, want her to belong to him completely.

But if this affection is opened, it will be irresistible. If...she has no intention of treating him at all, he will not be able to be a good person again in front of her.

However, he still wants to... protect her well.

Fearing that the heat would frighten him, Qi Yuan lowered his eyes, and the emotions in his eyes rolled wantonly for a moment. When he raised his eyes again, the peach blossom pupils dizzy, revealing just the right amount of joy. When he looked at Song Leyi, his tone was relaxed, and the clear and clear voice came with a touch of joy. magnetic.

"Um--"

Qi Yuan thought for a while, then nodded towards Song Leyi with determination. "kind of--"

Just a little like it?
Hearing this definite answer, Song Leyi couldn't tell if she was more happy or sad.

Huanxi celebrates the New Year like this, and the affection hidden in her heart can actually blossom and bear fruit when he waits for his response; but what makes people even more sad is that his liking is only a little bit.

The bit in his mouth is nothing compared to her liking for him.

It is said that a love that is evenly matched is more beautiful, but Song Leyi's grievance is that as long as he says he likes her, even if it's just a little bit in his mouth, she has actually agreed to him quietly when he admits that he likes her.

Perhaps, the only decency she can stick to is to hide the secret love that was hidden in her heart when she was young, to hide it even deeper, so that he won't notice it, and never, never, never tell him.

During the torment of waiting, Qi Yuan smiled wryly in silence. What he thought most about was not the joy that Song Leyi had promised him.

Rather... If he refuses, how should he stop?As her half-brother again, continue to protect her.

How should he pretend to be relaxed?It made her feel that what he said tonight was not planned for a long time, but because of his impulsiveness, and it was no big deal at all.
