Chapter 32 Bet
“Sincere congratulations to Lin Xiang!
” In the solemn auditorium, the prince specifically turned to Lin Ruofu and expressed his blessings.
You must know that in the original story line, Lin Ruofu had already retired to the countryside before Fan Xian's wedding.
However, a subtle twist of fate - Li Chengze's intervention triggered a series of chain reactions, allowing Prime Minister Lin to still be here to witness this important moment.
"Prime Minister Lin, your presence makes today more glorious." The prince's words revealed sincerity.
When Lin Ruofu heard this, he bowed slightly politely on the surface, with a hint of indescribable complex emotions in his smile.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness." There was some deep meaning in his voice.
When the prince saw this, he smiled softly and explained:
"Xiang Lin may have misunderstood. My congratulations are not just because of Wan'er's wedding.
There was some mystery in his words, "Actually, it was the second brother who miraculously cured Wan'er's stubborn illness. Isn't this a big event worthy of celebration?" "
As soon as he said this, Lin Ruofu's expression suddenly changed with surprise and surprise.
"Wan'er's illness has really been completely cured?
" His voice was full of disbelief and unconcealable joy. This news was undoubtedly like rain from heaven to him, making his heart surge with infinite gratitude and relief.
Then, Lin Ruofu's eyes turned to Fan Xian involuntarily, his eyes full of inquiry and expectation.
Fan Xian naturally felt this gaze, and he nodded slightly. That silent movement was the firmest answer to Lin Ruofu.
As a talented man who is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also has profound attainments in medical skills, Fan Xian's affirmation is undoubtedly the most powerful proof.
Lin Ruofu's heart suddenly surged with unspeakable joy and relief.
Li Chengze, on the other hand, used his keen insight to quietly observe the prince's actions, already knowing what he was thinking at the moment.
In this moment full of variables, everyone has their own secrets and calculations hidden in their hearts.
hehe! ! interesting!
……
The wedding was still going on, and there was nothing special about it! After the worship service was over, the hustle and bustle calmed down, and the people who came to express their praises naturally left one after another!
"Second brother, I Accompany you back? You don’t take a guard with you when you go out!"
The eldest prince came out and spoke to Li Chengze, expressing his concern!
"Thank you, big brother. I have Ye Nvxia to protect me, that's enough!" Li Chengze pointed to Ye Ling'er next to him and said politely!
"Oh, if that's the case, then I won't bother you anymore!"
With a knowing smile and a teasing smile, the eldest prince said a long "oh" in his mouth, then turned and left neatly!
"Let's go, I'll take you back home!" After watching the eldest prince leave, Ye Ling'er followed and said!
"No rush!"
However, while Li Chengyang was writing his speech, he shook his head, and then found a table and chair for you to sit down at the shop not far in front of Fan Mansion, and asked the shopkeeper to serve a pot of tea!
"Why don't you leave? ? What is the purpose of guarding the door of Fan Mansion?
"Ye Ling'er couldn't help but ask curiously after sitting down, with a hint of confusion in her tone.
Indeed, the wedding has ended successfully. Although there is a folk custom of eavesdropping on good news, it is mostly a matter of fun among relatives and friends. It is indeed a bit unreasonable for him to wait in a shop outside like this.
"I'm waiting," Li Chengze said with a smile on his lips, "waiting for Fan Xian to come find me."
"This is simply ridiculous!" Ye Ling'er retorted without hesitation, "Fan Xian and Wan'er finally got married today. This should be their happiest time. How could they possibly abandon their bride to come to you?" "
"Oh? Are you so sure?" Li Chengze was not eager to defend, but suggested in a relaxed manner,
"Miss Ye, how about we make a bet? Gold and silver are boring things anyway, so let's make a special bet."
"What are you betting on?" Ye Linger hesitated for a moment, but her curiosity was still aroused. "If I win," a hint of cunning flashed in Li Chengze's eyes, "please allow me to... give you a gentle kiss, how about it?"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Ling'er's face instantly turned crimson. Even for such a bold heroine like her,
Faced with such a sudden confession-style bet, I couldn't help but feel a little at a loss. "You...how can you be so frivolous!"
"Why, does Miss Ye think she will lose, so she doesn't dare to challenge?" Li Chengze asked with a smile, seeming to enjoy teasing her.
Ye Ling'er bit her lip, finally mustered up the courage, and asked in a thin voice: "Then, what if you lose?"
"Haha, do you even need to ask?" Li Chengze smiled even brighter, "Of course it's the other way around, I'll give you the same opportunity."
"You... are so shameless!
" Ye Ling'er suddenly raised her head, with both shyness and anger in her eyes, but she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly. This unexpected bet seemed to have quietly deepened the relationship between the two. Subtle changes have occurred.
"Haha, in that case, if you win, how about I give you a chance when you are in danger?
" Li Chengze couldn't help laughing when he saw this. He knew the subtleties of talking to women. , it needs to be humorous but not frivolous.
"To get along with women, you really need to be relaxed. Being too rigid will make it difficult to get close to your heart, and excessive joking may be regarded as frivolous.
It is this alternation of being serious and funny at times that can quickly bring us closer together, just as a meal requires a combination of meat and vegetables to nourish the body and mind.
"Li Chengze thought to himself, and his words revealed a unique insight into interpersonal communication.
"Your Highness," Ye Ling'er was raised with both hands, and her expression became serious, "Can you really save me once when I am in danger?"
"Indeed, the effect is extraordinary." Li Chengze replied affirmatively, with a trace of confidence flashing in his eyes.
"Then why did you show this thing so generously in front of so many guests today?" Ye Ling'er asked in hot pursuit.
"This matter involves many considerations, and it is difficult to summarize it in one sentence." Li Chengze shook his head gently, with a hint of mystery in his tone.
"So, can't I know?" Ye Linger's voice was mixed with a hint of disappointment.
"Let's do this. If you win the bet, I'll add one more thing. How about I reveal my true intentions to you?" Li Chengze suggested, with a playful smile on his lips.
"Deal!" Ye Linger agreed without hesitation. This decisiveness surprised Li Chengze.
Li Chengze never expected that Ye Ling'er's reaction would be so direct and profound. This unexpected move caused ripples in his heart.
Ye Linger's cheeks were slightly red, but she did not flinch. Her eyes were firm and bright, as if she had interpreted her inner emotions with her actions. In the face of this magnanimity, any cover-up seems redundant.
Just as the atmosphere was getting better, Li Chengze gently held Ye Ling'er's hand and slowly leaned forward. The distance between the two of them closed silently, and an indescribable subtlety filled the air.
Ye Ling'er could feel her rapid breathing and racing heart, but she chose to face it bravely, locking Li Chengze tightly with her shining eyes.
However, at this moment, a burst of untimely footsteps broke the tranquility, and Fan Xian's appearance made the scene instantly awkward.
"Your Highness, haven't you left yet?" Fan Xian's words interrupted what was about to happen.
Li Chengze couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart and muttered to himself: "Can't you come a little later?
Even if it's just a short minute, or half a minute..." This sudden interruption made him helpless and regretful.
