Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 239 The Last Time (Part [-])
Bai Xing was about to sit down, when he heard the words, he was taken aback, "Mountain climbing?" Somewhat surprised.

"Yeah." Lu Jiangjiang nodded, "It's been a long time since we went out for a walk together and called the girl from the Shen family." It sounded like a casual suggestion.

But Bai Xing and Lu Jiangjiang have known each other for many years, and they grew up wearing a pair of trousers in the early years. Even if they have been unfamiliar for a few months, they are not so unfamiliar that they cannot see the dodge and embarrassment in each other's eyes.Bai Xing's eyebrows were furrowed more and more. He always felt that something was wrong about Lu Jiangjiang intending to present a beauty to Li Yuqi at the gate of Bai's house.

Bai Xing himself and Li Yuqi don't say they are life and death rivals, but it is true that they don't see each other, and it is true that they do not communicate with each other forever.The Lu family has gradually declined over the years, and he understands that he wants to enter the Eastern Palace camp.

But what he couldn't understand was that the person who did this... was Lu Jiangjiang.That Lu Jiangjiang who used to drink and eat meat with him, guessing boxing games, fooling around and making mistakes, and whistling to tease girls.Where did the Bai family lose to the left?He would rather break his pride and send his face to others' feet to be trampled on than come to Bai's house for help?

Bai Xing doesn't know if Lu Jiangjiang has pleased the East Palace now, or if the beauty has offered it... If everything has been settled, this mountain...

It doesn't matter if you don't climb.

Thinking about it in his heart, he waved his fan calmly and looked at the other party with a smile on his face, "Miss Shen? Shen Luoxin?"

"Yes, yes." Lu Jiangjiang nodded, "It's just her. The little girl is quite fun, take her with you."

After finishing speaking, he added another sentence to cover up, "It's so crowded!"

Bai Xing felt more and more that something was wrong. He half got up and poured tea for himself, stroked the teacup and looked at Lu Jiangjiang, and smiled half-truly, "When did you become so familiar with her?"

"I'm not familiar. If I am familiar, I will call myself."

It seems to be true, but... Lu Jiangjiang today is full of weirdness.Bai Xing continued to probe, "Currently, Shen Luoxin lives in Ji's house, if not, let's call Shang Ji Wuyan together. I can't even tell you just one."

Sure enough, Lu Jiangjiang's eyes flashed obviously, and subconsciously reached out to wipe the clothes on his thighs, "No, no."

Bai Xing's face became serious immediately, he sat up straight and asked Lu Jiangjiang, "Lu Jiangjiang, tell me the truth, what exactly are you planning?"

"I, I..." Lu Jiangjiang continued to wipe his clothes, his eyes suddenly changed from shrinking, and he became excited and arrogant, "What can I have in mind? Bai Xing, now our friendship is no longer enough to climb a mountain together? ... If that's the case, just pretend I haven't been here today!"

With that said, he got up and wanted to leave.

Bai Xing held him back, looked at the way the other party held back his anger, thought about what the concierge said that day, and couldn't bear the small affection, sighed lowly, and said straight to the point, "Lu Jiangjiang, I'm not a fool. You Think about your behavior today... Aside from other things, you are talking about how lively the crowd is, but at the same time you call Shen Luoxin not Ji Wuyan, what's the reason?"

Lu Jiangjiang was sitting on the stone bench, his hands resting on his thighs, keeping the movement of getting up and leaving at any time, lowering his head and not speaking.After a while, he said slowly, "I'm not young anymore."

Bai Xing looked in surprise.

After opening the topic, Lu Jiangjiang didn't hide anymore. He looked like a quail that finally gave up resistance after being caught by someone, and honestly explained, "I'm different from you. You are a wealthy family of the Bai family. How many girls lined up and broke their heads to come in. I... First, I don’t need to say more about what the Lu family looks like. Second, I am not the eldest son, and I have no ability. The future can be held in my hands. If you wait a few more years, it will be even more difficult..."

The young master of the Bai family was not good at "emotional cards" since he was a child. Now he looked at Lu Jiangjiang almost dumbfounded, opened his mouth, and couldn't say any words of relief - after all, in the 20 years of young master Bai's life, The most unsatisfactory thing was probably Shangfang Jiewa being chased by the old man all over the yard.

Such people, no matter how smart they are, lack empathy.Bai Xing is, and so is Ji Wuyan.So the two of them couldn't understand the troubles of the Ye family and Lu Jiangjiang.

It's just that he understood one thing, "So... have you taken a fancy to Shen Luoxin?"

As a result, Young Master Bai became more and more confused. Didn't this person still like Ji Wuyan before, and because of this, he had a big fight with himself and left angrily. How long has it been since he fell in love with Shen Luoxin again?He is indeed a frequent visitor to Fengyue House... On this point, Young Master Bai always disagrees with this young man.

"Heh..." Lu Jiangjiang suddenly looked up at him, and smiled lazily, without any hint of a smile, "It's not that I like it, after all, I'm not that familiar yet. I just think he's a nice person, so let's get along first, so I want to Since you are familiar with her, please go ask her out."

This statement is acceptable.

Bai Xing nodded, it seemed that he believed it.Just thinking about what the concierge said, he changed the subject, and asked cautiously, "Recently... How is the Lu family?"

"Huh?" Lu Jiangjiang seemed a little confused, so he was taken aback for a while before waving his hands, "Hey, isn't the Lu family always like that, it's impossible to make a fortune, but it probably won't fall in the next few decades..." It looks like Casually, but his eyes have already avoided it.

"Actually..." Bai Xing hesitated to speak.

After nearly 20 years of childhood, Bai Xing understands Lu Jiangjiang's flickering, and Lu Jiangjiang also understands Bai Xing's hesitation.Indeed, objectively speaking, the Bai family is a better choice, but... Lu Jiangjiang's pride does not allow him to choose the Bai family precisely because of his childhood friendship.

Lu Jiangjiang lowered his head, unconsciously stroking the fabric with his fingertips, and after a long while, struggled to speak, "Actually, actually, I want to ask you..."

In the sight of Bai Xing looking over, he gritted his teeth, smiled, and asked indifferently, "Actually, I still like Ji Wuyan better... I am not the only son in my family, let alone the one that everyone expects, Marriage... Marriage can be the decision, you say, you say if I pursue Ji Wuyan..."

The following words are not finished.

He asked the same question last time, but last time he was obviously more confident, and they broke up unhappy.It was only after that that Lu Jiangjiang realized that what he thought he had a chance to win, turned out to be...not worthy.

the last time.He told himself that if Bai Xing changed his attitude, he would bring the Lu family into the lineage of the king of Pingyang County, even if he was proud of himself, he would become his young master Bai's follower.

No one knew that Lu Jiangjiang was anxious and struggling at the moment, like a drowning man begging for the last piece of driftwood.

Bai Xing didn't know either.
