How could Duan Ren not be soft-hearted and how could he let her go.

He straightened her shoulders and looked directly into her eyes, looking extremely serious.

"I will take responsibility, and I am very willing to take responsibility. I am afraid that you will not give me a chance. The reason why I just said that is because I am worried that you will regret it in the future if you make an impulsive decision at a young age."

"I hope you will be more cautious and consider the long term."

"I'll say it again, I'm really old and can't afford to play. What I want is for a lifetime, not just a whim."

After hearing these words, Shen Qinglan stopped crying and her attitude was more serious than him.

"Don't always think that I am young and do everything on a whim."

"If I was really acting on a whim, I would only be teasing you. I wouldn't be here to be jealous of you and let you bully me."

"I will say it again, although I, Shen Qinglan, am careless, I am by no means a casual person. If I like someone, I will definitely like him seriously and never play around."

"If you believe me, just stay. If you don't believe me, leave tomorrow. You don't have to wait until Yiran to part ways with me."

At the end of the sentence, Shen Qinglan still had a hint of anger and shook off his hand and took a step back.

Duan Ren's palms were empty, but he didn't rush to hug her.

The two looked at each other, and under the dim light, neither of them opened their eyes.

After a while, a spark flew out of the wick, which was neither light nor heavy, finally breaking the tranquility.

Duan Ren spoke first: "I believe it."

Even if he doesn't believe it, he will choose to believe it at this moment.

Big deal, let her play.

Who made him... be attracted to her?

In this way, he could only pamper her.

Shen Qinglan didn't know that he still had this idea in his heart. At this moment, she foolishly thought that he really believed in her, so she happily rushed over and hugged him.

"Then you are not allowed to say those words again."

"What?"

"I don't like to hear words about people of any age and being unworthy."

Why did she say what she just said? It was because she felt that Duan Ren was not confident.

That's why she said it so straightforwardly and seriously, letting him know that she was not joking.

Shen Qinglan hugged him tightly, "I don't care about that. If I did, Ji and I would have been married last year, and you wouldn't even be able to touch me."

Duan Ren stroked her hair and said nothing.

"Don't belittle yourself. You are kind, gentle, and responsible. Your martial arts skills are also high. In my heart, you are much better than those princes and nobles who have nothing but false appearances."

"Besides, you're not old either. There are many old men in their forties or fifties marrying teenage wives in this world. If you really care about your age, you can smile more in the future."

Duan Ren asked: "Why should you smile more?"

"Because it takes ten years to smile. The twelve-year gap is gone when you smile."

Duan Ren was startled for a moment, looked at her bright eyebrows, and then really smiled.

Shen Qinglan immediately patted her horse, "Look, how young you are."

Duan Ren saw how seriously she was praising her, and his chest trembled because he couldn't hold back his laughter.

It was rare that he smiled so cheerfully.

After laughing, he sighed deeply, "It's hard for the princess to take so much trouble to comfort me."

The corners of Shen Qinglan's lips raised, "I mean it sincerely this time."

It wasn't the kind of comfort that I teased him on purpose a few times before.

Of course Duan Ren believed that she was sincere. After all, she was the only one who would praise herself so much and feel that she was... very good.

He let go of her and said, "I would like to thank the princess for her comfort, but aside from these issues, I still have some concerns."

"what?"

Duan Ren recounted her requirements for choosing a mate at that time.

"I haven't read enough poetry and books, and I like to stick to the old rules."

"He is not an elegant gentleman, nor is he elegant or suave."

"My face is not handsome, and I'm not humorous either. None of them meet your original requirements."

Shen Qinglan was surprised when she heard this, "When did I have so many demands?"

After saying that, she suddenly remembered the time when she and Weiwei were talking nonsense.

The old man blushed, "You eavesdropped on me."

Duan Ren smiled and said, "You still need to eavesdrop. Every time you talk to the princess, have you ever paid attention to your volume?"

"..."

Shen Qinglan touched her nose and said, "Those were the aspirations at the time, not the complete standards. If I had really used these requirements, I would have married Brother Ye a long time ago."

Duan Ren became nervous when he mentioned marrying Ye Huai.

"Don't marry."

Just two words, Shen Qinglan was so happy that she wanted to raise her tail, and said softly: "Then just marry me."

Marrying a princess is not as easy as imagined.

But at this moment, Duan Ren's heart was no longer what it was before.

Even if it's a sea of ​​swords and fire, he can go through it all for her, without fear of any difficulties.

Duan Ren finally said solemnly: "Okay."

Shen Qinglan smiled, with a pair of almond-shaped eyes, and the pupils were like the moon falling into a deep well, blurring the line between bright and dark, alluring and sinking.

This time, Duan Ren finally picked the moon and hugged it.

The two of them candidly talk to each other. This kind of hug without any barriers is a real hug.

Shen Qinglan obediently let him hold her. She caught a glimpse of the hairpin on the table and couldn't help but reach out and pick it up, recalling what he had just said while holding the hairpin.

I was very jealous at that time, but I didn't feel it was sweet.

Now that I think about it, I was jealous because I was jealous, and the sweetness is overwhelming.

But no, she had to be reserved.

So he took the hairpin, twirled it around in his hand, and asked casually, "Why do you keep carrying this hairpin close to your body? You caused me to misunderstand."

Duan Ren was very honest: "I took your hairpin on impulse, but later I felt it was inappropriate. I thought I would find an opportunity to return it to you on the way."

"Then why haven't you given it to me?"

"Because I know it's hard to say goodbye after this trip, but I also want to keep you in my thoughts."

Fool, what can a hairpin do? It can be a promising thing to keep people.

Fortunately, she discovered the fool's intention and didn't miss it.

Shen Qinglan's smile reached to her ears, and she had to hold it back, so she just said "Oh."

"You distanced yourself from me on the way, was it because you didn't want me to notice your affection?"

"Well, that's one thing. Another reason is that I came to you later and wanted to apologize and return the hairpin, but you didn't care at the time. I thought you were playing with me."

After saying this, Shen Qinglan remembered that Duan Ren had indeed come to see her.

But she thought the other party was making fun of her, so she excused herself.

Who knew he was here to talk about this.

Shen Qinglan poked his chest first, "I forgot, not that I didn't care."

Then he corrected his temper, "Now, let me tell you that my memory is not good and it will break when I'm drunk. If you have anything to say in the future, just tell me and don't hide it. I don't like misunderstandings."

Duan Ren hummed and held her fingertips.

Her hands were white and soft, glowing with a faint sheen under the dim light. They were so delicate that they made you want to kiss them.

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Duan Ren suddenly felt a fire rising from his abdomen, coming fiercely.

Just when he wanted to suppress it, he suddenly heard Shen Qinglan ask curiously: "But when did you take away my hairpin?"

In her only memories, she seemed to remember wearing a hairpin.

Duan Ren's eyes darkened, "On the carriage."

As soon as the carriage was mentioned, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

She didn't know if she had kissed him tonight, but Shen Qinglan remembered that in the carriage, in addition to her bold words, her actions were also bold.

Duan Ren didn't say anything because he remembered what happened on the carriage better than she did.

I also remember that when the hairpin fell off, she was sitting in his arms, holding his neck, taking it away...

For a moment, the room seemed to heat up several degrees because of the sensitive word carriage.
