Chapter 268 Freedom
When the two children were clamoring for Lu Xi to accompany them to buy toys, Lu Xi never thought that the two children had other ideas.
She took Yuanyuan and Tangtang to the toy store. As soon as she entered the door, she saw two men standing opposite each other.
Lu Xi struggled all day yesterday, and now he is scared of the competition between the two men.
Seeing that both of them were holding a bouquet of roses in their hands, Lu Xi's head started to hurt even though she hadn't been asked to choose yet.
Tangtang was ripe, and she waved happily to Ye Yu and Zhu Yuan, "Uncle Zhu Yuan, Uncle Ye Yu, we are here."
It was over, before Lu Xi could cover Tangtang's mouth, Ye Yu and Zhu Yuan were already looking this way.
"What a coincidence, you guys are here to buy toys too." Lu Xi smiled.
Doubts appeared in Ye Gu's and Zhu Yuan's eyes at the same time, "Didn't you invite us here?"
Lu Xi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Tangtang. Sure enough, Tangtang had huddled up and was hiding behind Yuanyuan.
"Confiscated this month's chocolate." Lu Xi said to Tangtang, and then looked at the two men.
As she expected, both of them handed the roses to her.
It doesn't fit anyone, so let's take it together. It's too big to hold.
"This flower is so beautiful." Lu Xi smiled awkwardly, "Are you giving it to me? I came in a hurry, and I don't have anything to give you, so I borrowed it to offer it to Buddha."
With that said, Lu Xi pushed the flower back again.
Before the two men spoke, Lu Xi held Tangtang in one hand and Yuanyuan in the other and walked aside to look at the toys. The two children stood next to Lu Xi, leaving no room for the men to get close.
Zhu Yuan and Ye Gu were walking behind them. Seeing that Lu Xi ignored them at all, they started chatting.
"Mr. Zhu has a heavy responsibility on your shoulders. It's hard for you to find time to come here every day." Ye Gu held a bouquet of flowers and gave Zhu Yuan a faint look.
"Since Mr. Ye has found someone else to love, it's hard to find time to find his old lover."
"I have never found another person to love." Speaking of this, Ye Yu's eyes flashed with coldness, "From the beginning to the end, there was only Lu Xi."
"Really?" Zhu Yuan said lightly, "No matter what the motive is, at least the damage is real. Mr. Ye has become a symbol of the past here in Lu Xi."
"The past can also become the future." Ye Gu didn't give in at all, "Mr. Zhu, are you sure that Lu Xi is really suitable for the future you gave him?"
Zhu Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked straight at Ye Yu. As a king, he pressed towards Ye Yu with all his aura.
Ye Gu was not afraid, and even added, "You know better than me that circumstances can kill a person, and even if you are the ruler of a dynasty, you cannot change this."
Zhu Yuan glanced at Lu Xi's back subconsciously. She was holding a toy and talking to Tangtang. She had a smile on her face, dimples, and a look in her eyes that had impressed him from the first moment. vitality.
Even though he and Ye Gu were tit for tat, he had to admit that Ye Gu was right. To seek his position, even if he can always protect Lu Xi, as long as he stands next to him, countless eyes and focus will fall on Lu Xi.
Those visible and invisible constraints will turn into a net, tightening him and the people around him little by little.
Zhu Yuan's eyes dimmed and he looked at Ye Gu, "Can you give her freedom?"
"I can." Ye Gu looked back at Zhu Yuan, with inevitable determination in her eyes, "She can do whatever she wants by my side. After all, I am the most deviant person in the eyes of the world. Who will focus on her again."< br>
Zhu Yuan was silent.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the rose in his arms. This flower was picked by him from the palace garden. It was warm, bright, and breathtakingly beautiful. Every petal had standard beauty.
These flowers, carefully cultivated by gardeners, are beautiful and elegant, but they also carry the discipline of the palace.
From the moment he became crown prince, he became part of the dynasty.
He belongs to the people, to the royal family, but not to himself.
In fact, he envied Ye Gu.
On the night when Ye Gu turned back and climbed the wall, Zhu Yuan actually turned back too.
However, Ye Gu climbed the wall, while Zhu Yuan walked through the main entrance.
He stood at the door holding an umbrella, watching Ye Gu climb over the balcony in a few seconds and knock on Lu Xi's window.
At that moment, he remembered himself from many years ago.
At that time, he was not the crown prince, he was not burdened with countless rules and etiquette, and he used to do everything for the things he loved.
But now, he is wearing the crown, and the mere one or two pounds weighing on his body is like ten thousand pounds, making him dare not take a wrong step.
It has been a long time since Lu Xi came to Lingzhou, and Zhu Yuan has been watching quietly, because he was worried that he could not give Lu Xi some free space.
But he likes this kind of emotion, and the more he suppresses it, the more he resists. Being with her day after day, Zhu Yuan finally wants to fight for himself.
What if the blooming roses can also bloom in the palace.
But at this time, Ye Gu's straightforward words once again broke away his worries.
He stared straight at Ye Gu, "So what, the decision is in Lu Xi's hands."
"Okay."
