After rebirth, my wife just wants to be a widow

Hearing Lu Yan's name, Shen Ruoyan's mind couldn't help but recall the scene she had glimpsed at the Wuyou Lake that day. The young man's clear figure made Shen Ruoyan's cheeks inexplicably a little scarlet.

Out of the reserve of a noble daughter from a noble family, Shen Ruoyan did not look over immediately. Instead, she waved the fan in her hand and fanned the air a few times before assuming a nonchalant attitude and looked in that direction as if she had inadvertently looked over.

The porch was empty.

Lu Yan has long since disappeared.

A heart that was hanging high was empty for a moment.

Shen Ruoyan withdrew her eyes and said softly, "Who is there? Are you kidding me again?"

There was a hint of disappointment in her tone that even she herself was not aware of.

"No way." Hearing that Lu Yan was not there, his friend also turned around and looked in that direction blatantly, and found that there was indeed no one in the corridor. He swore to explain, "Ayan, I really saw it right, I clearly understood I saw Mr. Lu standing there just now and looking at you several times."

As he spoke, he leaned close to Shen Ruoyan's ear and joked: "Ayan, Mr. Lu has always been cold and cold, and I have never heard of him showing close affection to anyone.

When I looked at you like this just now, tell me... Mr. Lu, did he treat you..."

The girl's energetic voice, with the ending deliberately long at the end, mixed with the fragrance of flowers around her, evoked infinite charm.

Shen Ruoyan slapped her cheeks that were filled with warmth, "Don't talk nonsense."

The friend continued to ask: "Ayan, do you know Mr. Lu?"

Shen Ruoyan's hand holding the fan paused.

know?

The relationship by the lake left a deep impression on Lu Yan, but since Lu Yan returned to the public eye with the title of No. [-] Scholar, everything has changed.

The only son of General Lu, the god of war in Daning, he entered the cabinet as soon as he became an official and became the youngest cabinet minister. He is full of talents, coupled with his clean and handsome appearance.

Lu Yan has long been the favorite in the eyes of all the distinguished families in the capital.

How could she dare to think of such a dazzling person?

Shen Ruoyan lowered her eyes, shook her fan, and said softly: "Master Lu and I have never even spoken to each other, how can we talk about knowing each other?"

The conversation soon turned elsewhere.

Thinking that this was just an insignificant incident, neither Shen Ruoyan nor Lu Yan took it to heart. Unexpectedly, within a short time, the two of them would intersect through a combination of circumstances.

Before the banquet started, her friend was called away by her mother, so Shen Ruoyan had to walk towards the banquet hall alone.

From a long distance away, he saw Su Xihe, who was all dressed up.

Seeing this young lady from the Su family who had liked to compete with her since she was a child, the smile on Shen Ruoyan's lips immediately diminished a bit.

Out of the mentality of doing more than doing less, Shen Ruoyan turned around and hid behind the rockery, thinking that she would wait for Su Xihe to go far away before going out, just in time to avoid hearing her weird words that would affect her. good mood.

Unexpectedly, Su Xihe walked straight towards the rockery.

Shen Ruoyan pursed her lips.

Could it be that Su Xihe saw her hiding behind the rockery, thought she was afraid of her, and wanted to come over and laugh at herself?

Just as he was about to walk out and confront her, Su Xihe called out delicately in her throat: "Hello, Mr. Lu."

Shen Ruoyan suddenly stopped and hid herself behind the rockery again.

Lu Yan was just thinking about the information he had obtained from the investigation, when he was interrupted by someone calling him inexplicably. He was unhappy inside, but he still looked cold on the outside.

He turned his face and glanced at Su Xihe, then nodded to her lightly as a response.

Seeing that Lu Yan completely ignored her, Su Xihe quickly said: "Master Lu, please stay."

Lu Yan raised his eyebrows impatiently.

It's a pity that the young man is full of nobility, and every move and gesture is romantic.

Even if this impatient movement fell into Su Xihe's eyes, it made her see a bit of free and uninhibited. Her eyes suddenly added a bit of fascination. She fiddled with the handkerchief with her fingers and said to Lu Yan coquettishly: "Lu Yan." Sir, I have taken the liberty of disturbing you today because I have a merciless request..."

Before she could say the next words, Lu Yan said indifferently: "Since I know that this matter is unreasonable, please don't break the rules, Miss Su."

Shen Ruoyan, who was standing behind the rockery, almost laughed out loud when she heard this.

I originally thought that a person like Lu Yan, who was like an immortal, would say a few polite words even if he didn't want to, but I didn't expect that he would be so ruthless in rejecting people.

If the situation didn't allow it, she would have really wanted to go out and see Su Xihe looking deflated.

Su Xihe didn't expect Lu Yan to react like this. After being stunned for a moment, she pretended not to hear Lu Yan's refusal and said shamelessly: "Master Lu, you have no choice but to interrupt today."

Seeing that Lu Yan was about to lift his legs and leave, Su Xihe sped up her words and said hurriedly: "I heard that at the banquet later, Mr. Zhao will take out the paintings that have been collected for many years as the prize for today's poetry meeting.

This painting is what my grandpa has been dreaming about for many years. The little girl knows that you are talented in literature, so she will definitely win the painting. I wonder if you can give up your love and fulfill my grandpa's wish? "

Before Lu Yan could speak, Su Xihe added: "If I can fulfill grandpa's long-cherished wish, I will be very grateful."

Although Lu Yan didn't care about the relationship between men and women, he was not an idiot. How could he not see Su Xihe's little thoughts.

Since he entered the officialdom, Taifu Su had tried to win over Lu Yan many times, but Lu Yan had resolved them one by one.

If he really presented the painting he won to this Miss Su in front of everyone today, outsiders would definitely guess that he and this Miss Su family have an unusual friendship, and they would really be unable to explain it. .

Seeing that Lu Yan didn't answer, Su Xihe pinched herself secretly, and mist filled her eyes: "Mr. Lu, that painting is very important to my grandfather. For the sake of my filial piety, please help me. This time."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, wanting to pull Lu Yan's sleeve to act coquettishly.

Lu Yan took a big step back as if he saw something dirty.

"Miss Su, since Mrs. Su cares so much about this painting, you can tell Mr. Zhao directly. Mr. Zhao is reasonable and will definitely become an adult." Lu Yan raised his eyelids and glanced at Su Xihe with a straight face, "Su The old lady is highly respected and has always been aboveboard in her actions. I believe that Miss Su will not do anything to disgrace the lintel of the Su family, right?"

Su Xihe was so blocked that she couldn't say a word.

He could only lower his head, say a few words hastily, then turn around and leave.

When Su Xihe walked away, Lu Yan lowered his voice and asked behind the rockery, "Have you heard enough?"
