Chapter 449
Shen Qionghua was stunned.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Luo Xiyao thought she didn't hear it, so she repeated it again.
Now Shen Qionghua reacted.
Well, Xiyao also invited her to visit the lantern festival.
Shen Qionghua glanced sideways and saw Luo Xiyao blinking her big eyes and staring at her. Her bright eyes were full of anticipation and excitement.
Shen Qionghua: “…”
My heart sank, and I felt inexplicably guilty.
She didn't dare look directly into Luo Xiyao's eyes, and instead looked away at nothing. Then she said, "Visiting the Lantern Festival? Xiyao, you tossed and turned all night the night before, and you're weak. You should get some rest now."
"There are so many people at the Lantern Festival. What if someone bumps into something? The Lantern Festival is held every year. Your health is more important." Shen Qionghua said seriously and righteously.
But Luo Xiyao refused to cooperate.
Luo Xiyao really thought Shen Qionghua was concerned about her health, so she waved her hand and said, "No need, Qionghua, I'm not that fragile, I'm fine!"
As he said this, he was afraid that Shen Qionghua might not believe him, so he stood up and jumped twice.
He turned around with a smile and showed it to Shen Qionghua, "Look, it's all healed."
Shen Qionghua: “…”
Shen Qionghua smiled somewhat reluctantly, "Heh...Okay...as long as you feel better."
Luo Xiyao immediately walked over to Shen Qionghua and said, "So, let's go tonight. It's bound to be lively."
Shen Qionghua: “…”
Shen Qionghua blinked and said, "Xiyao, I mean, if...if I have a date, will you be angry?"
Have an appointment?
Luo Xiyao's eyes lit up. "You have an appointment? Who do you have an appointment with? Are you with your cousin...?"
Then he realized something was wrong.
That's not right. Qionghua has an appointment with her cousin, so she can't go with her.
"Qionghua, you can't do this. You can't abandon me just because you have a cousin!" Luo Xiyao accused.
"Did you hear that~~" Luo Xiyao pulled Shen Qionghua's sleeve and shook it back and forth with a resentful look on her face.
Shen Qionghua felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Luo Xiyao's resentful look. She coughed lightly and subconsciously denied it, "No, who said I had an appointment with Prince Rui! It's not true, don't talk nonsense!"
"What I just said was if! If!"
Luo Xiyao looked suspicious and asked, "Really?"
Shen Qionghua sat upright, his expression unchanged as he nodded, "Of course it's true."
"Then can you go to the lantern festival with me tonight?" Luo Xiyao looked expectant, her eyes twinkling.
Shen Qionghua suppressed her guilt and shook her head.
"Why?" Luo Xiyao's eyebrows, which had just been raised, drooped in an instant.
Shen Qionghua has experienced the feeling of having to cover up one lie with countless lies.
She blinked and said, "There are some things at home that need to be taken care of. Besides, I'm engaged now. My mother told me yesterday to stay home and wait for my wedding."
"I promised you that it would be bad if I went out tonight."
Hearing that it was Lin Wanru's idea, Luo Xiyao stopped pestering Shen Qionghua.
He just pouted and said, "Okay then."
Anyway, as long as Qionghua doesn't abandon her for her cousin, it's fine.
Oh, thinking about it this way, I feel much better.
"Then you must accompany me next time." Luo Xiyao said.
Shen Qionghua nodded heavily, "Okay! Definitely!"
Next time she will definitely accompany Xiyao, not Xie Nanyuan.
-
As the sun sets, golden rays of light shine through the clouds, dyeing half the sky red. The fiery red clouds seem to be about to burn.
As time passed, the gold and red gradually faded, the moon rose, and the sky was shrouded in black.
The noisy crowds on the streets did not disperse as night fell. Instead, as all kinds of strange-shaped lanterns were lit up, the crowds became even more crowded.
Inside the Shen Mansion, Shen Qionghua was dressed in new clothes, wearing a veil to completely cover her face, and walked out of the Shen family's gate.
The carriage was already ready. Shen Qionghua was about to walk towards the carriage when he suddenly stopped.
Next to the Shen family's carriage, a man in a dark robe was sitting on a tall black horse, looking at her with a smile. Who else could it be but Xie Nanyuan?
Why did he come to the Shen family?
Didn’t we agree on a place?
Shen Qionghua was stunned for a moment, then walked up to Xie Nanyuan.
Looking up at him.
"Why are you here..."
Before Shen Qionghua could finish her words, she saw Xie Nanyuan bending down. The next moment, she was picked up by the waist and sat in front of Xie Nanyuan.
"Hold on tight!" The man's joking voice sounded in his ears, with a warm breath.
Then he raised the whip in his hand and galloped away.
He left behind the coachman and the stunned Shaoyao.
