Zhang Qin smiled and did not doubt the authenticity of his words. He knew his son’s personality very well. Since he said so, he was at least 90% sure.
He stood up from the stone bench with his hands behind his back.” It’s late. Go to Chang ‘an early tomorrow to prepare for the wedding!” Our family only has your uncle’s family as relatives. Not only must we hold this wedding, but we must also hold it grandly. We must tell the great clans in the capital that from now on, we will also be part of the upper circles and will not be easily manipulated by outsiders. If they dare to touch us, they will have to pay the price.”
“Yes.” Zhang Ronghua agreed with a smile.
He didn’t bring Zheng Qingyu with him. He told her to stay here and go with his parents tomorrow. After that, he would return to the residence. He left the residence and walked toward his home in the Vermilion Bird Lane.
Alter a wnne.
Zhang Ronghua went to the backyard. Ji Xueyan was sitting on the threshold, holding the purple cat in her arms. She was stroking its fur and staring at the bright moon in the night sky. She walked over and sat down.” What are you thinking about?”
Ji Xueyan retracted her gaze and looked at him. She didn’t say anything and just watched him quietly. Only her deep, beautiful eyes that were like autumn waters moved, as if to express something.
” What’s wrong?” Zhang Ronghua took the initiative to hold her hand and asked softly.
Ji Xueyan raised her hand and touched his face. Without giving him any time to react, she kissed him. This time, she didn’t touch him lightly, nor did she kiss his forehead.
Zhang Ronghua was stunned. He felt that something was wrong with her tonight. He secretly guessed that something had happened.
The capital was peaceful. Nothing major had happened. If Zheng Yi had been there, he would have said it. However, the scene in front of him was not when he was distracted. He had taken the initiative to kiss her. He should have responded warmly.
After a long time, the two separated.
Ji Xueyan’s cheeks were flushed red like the sunset. She was less cold and shy like a little girl. Her eyes were still fixed on him. Her jade-like hands smoothed out her messy hair and placed it behind her ear again. She asked,” Did you go out to play with Yang Hongling?”
Zhang Ronghua finally understood why she was like this. She didn’t say a word when they first met and kissed him directly. This matter couldn’t be hidden. It wasn’t a secret. Anyone with a good heart would know. He replied,” Okay.” Seeing that she was waiting for him to continue, he continued.
‘ With the rise in status, there will be more and more political enemies. If they leave the capital without anyone to fear, they will definitely send people to kill them.”
Ji Xueyan’s expression was serious. She stuck her tongue between her teeth. After a while, she finally asked,” You, what’s your relationship?”
Her voice was trembling because she was nervous.
Compared to the strong, proud, and confident she used to be, she was a little more afraid.
Patting the back of her hand, Zhang Ronghua said seriously, “Friend!”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“Phew!” Ji Xueyan’s heart felt like it had been lifted from her chest. She relaxed and her temperament returned. She opened her mouth, wanting to say that she would bring him along next time, but she swallowed it back.
The two of them were not ready. It was not the time to be exposed. They felt powerless. They clearly wanted to be by his side, but they could not! He could only watch helplessly as other women entered and left with him.
He swore in his heart! He had to develop Jixia Hall in the shortest time possible and take control of Jixia Learning Palace. When that time came, he would be able to lay his cards on the table and face everything calmly. No matter what storm it was, it would be impossible to stop it.
He took the initiative to change the topic.
I’m getting married in Chang ‘an tomorrow. Forgive me for not being able to send my blessings in person.”
“I’ll make it up to you in the future,” said Zhang Ronghua with a smile.
“You want to bring Purple Cat over?”
“Meow!” Purple Cat’s eyes lit up as it cried out.
He somersaulted on the spot, his two short legs supporting him on the ground. He straightened his upper body and looked expectant.
“And Uncle Shi.” Zhang Ronghua nodded.
“It’s pretty good.” Ji Xueyan said softly.
There was one more thing that he didn’t say. If it was our wedding, how good would that be?
‘ I really envy them. Lovers will always be together. Although there was a little obstacle before, they have already crossed it. They are guarding the clouds and seeing the sun and moon.”
Zhang Ronghua didn’t say anything. He held her hand tightly and replied with his actions. Silence was better than words. Ji Xueyan’s heart was filled with sweetness. She took the initiative to lean her head on his shoulder. It was quiet and warm. She wished that this moment would last forever. Time would stop and never pass.
Purple Cat glanced at them. Did they forget about cats? He walked over and stopped beside her. He sat on the threshold and imitated her, leaning his head on Ji Xueyan’s legs.
“Hehe 4” Ji Xueyan was amused. Her laughter was like a silver bell, but she didn’t dare to laugh too loudly. It echoed in the courtyard. He sat up straight, carried Purple Cat over, and stroked its fur again.
“Will someone cause trouble tomorrow?”
“I won’t!” Zhang Ronghua was confident.
“We have people in the capital, the Fifth Division of City Defense, the True Dragon Palace, and the imperial court. If we attack now, we won’t stop until one of us is dead. No one will dare to find trouble at this moment.”
“Yes.” Ji Xueyan nodded.
“Have you eaten?” she asked softly as she stood up from the threshold.
Gulp!
Zhang Ronghua’s stomach growled.
“Wait for me!”
He turned around and walked into the kitchen.
“Are you really friends with Yang Hongling?” Purple Cat asked. “She treats me like her best friend,” Zhang Ronghua shrugged.
“???”Purple Cat was confused.
She stared at his lower body suspiciously as if she wanted to confirm it.
Bang!
“What are you thinking about?” Zhang Ronghua knocked on its head..
