☆, Beacon Smoke and Clouds 17

The sun went down one by one, and the autumn dusk was filled with coldness. Yao Ji walked out of this Western-style restaurant, and it was obvious that the setting sun was still hanging on the sky, but she felt that the sun had already set. Go down. The afterglow was slowly swallowed up by the gradually falling night. She sat on the rickshaw, and the scenery on the street quickly receded, just like the fading glow, leaving only the copper bells hanging on the rickshaw tinkling in the gloom.

 It was the same that night. The night she was at the handsome manor, she was held in Li Zheng's arms. It was a deep dark night outside, but she felt warm.

 "Right now, Li Zheng will never terminate his engagement with your eldest sister."

 Is that so? She suddenly remembered Li Zheng's answer, "Just give me some more time, okay?" He replied. At that time, Yao Ji didn't understand why it still needed some time. What made Li Zheng refuse? But she was understanding and didn't ask. He must have his reasons.

 Now that I think about it, the clues may have been there a long time ago.

 Mr. Kong has never been very enthusiastic about the marriage between Li Zheng and his eldest sister. Although the old man is old, he is not confused. He has probably understood the intention of the Li family a long time ago. However, his son is not up to expectations and his two granddaughters are still young. For the sake of the family, this marriage is the best choice.

 Li Zheng knew that Kong Yu was dissatisfied with the marriage, but he did not propose to terminate the engagement. The answer he gave Yao Ji at that time was that he did not want to cut off contact with the Kong family and thus lose the opportunity to contact her - this reason was untenable. Although the Kong family is an old-style family, Yao Ji is not a lady who stays behind the scenes. As long as Li Zheng has the intention and his skills, how can he not get to know her? Now that the two of them can't be together openly because of the marriage contract, it's actually causing trouble.

 Yao Ji had to admit that she didn't see the far-fetchedness of this reason, but she chose to believe Li Zheng.

 Even now, she still believes in Li Zheng. His feelings for her were not fake. Probably his plan was that once Li Zuo successfully became the president, he would find a way to terminate his engagement with Kong Yu, which was why he made that promise.

 But he shouldn't lie to her.

 She sat in the Western restaurant where Zhou Xu'an invited her out for the whole afternoon, actually thinking about nothing but being lost in thought. Back home, Mr. Kong was sitting in the living room reading the newspaper. Seeing that she came back so late, he frowned and put down the newspaper: "Where have you been?" Seeing Yao Ji lowering her head, he didn't feel like saying anything else, so he added, "Your brother-in-law just sent someone to deliver some clothing materials. Some of them are for you. I asked the servants to put them in your room."

 Yao Ji originally stood still and listened to him. When she heard this, she suddenly raised her head. Beginning: "The servant of Shuai's Mansion...has he gone back?"

 Mr. Kong was stunned and said, "Just went out." Before he finished speaking, he saw Yao Ji picking up her skirt and chasing after her.

 #When

 Jinxian received the letter sent by Miss Kong Er, he was finishing the matter at hand and planning to return to the camp outside the city. He was returning to the city on Li Zheng's order to do some business, and by the way, he arranged for servants from the Shuai Mansion to deliver clothing materials to the Kong family. He shouldn't have cared about these little things at first, but it was only because Li Zheng specifically asked him before he came that he got some snacks.
