Just five words: "Thinking of Lin Jiaoyue".

Mu Rong was caught off guard, and at the moment when he was stunned, Xu Rongrong's face gradually darkened.

Looking at her back as she broke free.

Mu Rong felt helpless and amused.

The originally gentle and affectionate atmosphere suddenly turned cold due to the girl's mood change.

In the past, he would have walked away.

But now, he was facing her, how could he let go?

He raised his hand, grabbed her wrist, and suddenly brought her back into his arms.

"What do you want her to do for no reason?" He leaned down, resting his chin on her neck, and spoke slowly.

"My Lord is so proficient in these 'sexy pleasures', I guess he must have practiced them with Miss Lin many times." She said in a muffled voice.

Hearing this, Mu Rong smiled slightly: "Rongrong is jealous."

Xu Rongrong turned her head to the side in annoyance.

She shouldn't have said it, but today...

Perhaps it was because the fire in the inner room was burning too brightly, or perhaps it was because the atmosphere between the two of them was too charming.

Those words seemed to come out without any thought, and it was too late to regret.

Now that Mu Rong had exposed it, she couldn't tell whether she was really jealous or just ashamed and angry.

In short, he refused to speak again.

Mu Rong turned her around and looked into the girl's downcast eyes.

He smiled and said, "Rongrong is very curious about the past between me and Lin Jiaoyue?"

"Not curious." She clenched her fists.

How could such a tiny movement escape Mu Rong's eyes? He lowered his palm and wrapped it around her slightly exerted fingertips.

He picked up his finger and slid it into her palm.

His slightly calloused fingertips rubbed her palms until she slowly relaxed and opened them.

"Even if Rongrong is not curious, I still want to tell you." He spoke in a low and slow voice, as if bewitching.

"Before I met you, I didn't understand love."

Xu Rongrong raised her head in surprise and met those smiling and tender eyes.

She asked doubtfully: "But you and her..."

"I once thought that was love, but after meeting you, I knew what true love is." He spoke each word with certainty.

Words he didn't say in his previous life.

It lingered in his mind and made him regret for decades.

"My parents died early, and the Mu family is eyeing the title of Weiyuan Marquis. No one except Princess Ning treats me sincerely, but she is my cousin after all, so it is inevitable that she has some shortcomings."

"From childhood to adulthood, I have experienced countless poisonings and stabbings, and even poisonous snakes crawling into my room at night."

"Although the branches of the Mu family have conflicts and disagreements with each other, they are surprisingly unanimous in killing me."

"Except for Mu Yi, almost all the servants around me have been bribed by them. I don't know when my life will end."

"But your majesty is the Marquis's uncle, don't they have any scruples?" Xu Rongrong was puzzled.

Mu Rong smiled and said, "I was just a young man growing up at that time. I could hardly find any evidence that they were trying to murder me. What could Your Majesty do?"

"But that period didn't last long because the Lin family found evidence."

Xu Rongrong raised her head: "Is it Lin Jiaoyue?"

"It was Lin Zhihen. He was the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War at that time." Mu Rong replied, "Logically, the Ministry of War and I shouldn't have too much to do with each other, but..."

Mu Rong paused, and Xu Rongrong understood: "It was Lin Jiaoyue who helped you, right?"

Mu Rong did not deny: "It was her, she convinced Lin Zhihen."

It turns out that there is this bond between them.

Xu Rongrong sniffed: "So you fell in love with her?"

Love her enough to die for her!

She felt even worse.

"Of course not..." Mu Rong saw her expression and knew that she had misunderstood. "I didn't understand love at all at that time. When I first entered the military camp, I thought about how to improve my martial arts to win the support of the people, or study military tactics to prepare for war, and... to manage the army left to me by my father."

"Lin Jiaoyue often came to the camp dressed as a man to make trouble. I saw that she was sensible and did not stop her. But over time, gossip began to spread, and even people around me often teased me and her. I thought that was love. If I hadn't met you, I might have believed that the person I liked was her for the rest of my life."

"You're lying!" Xu Rongrong glared at him, "You clearly... clearly..."

He clearly bullied her in that way in his previous life.

"Clearly what?" Mu Rong asked temptingly.

But Xu Rongrong's reaction was not slow. She turned her head and said, "When you asked to marry me, you were clearly angry with her."

She remembered clearly what Lin Jiaoyue expressed to Mu Rong after she stopped the carriage after the Qixi Festival banquet!

At that time, Lin Jiaoyue was having an affair with the fourth prince Wu Tianqi, and Mu Rong asked the emperor for permission to grant them a marriage at the Qixi Banquet. How could the grudge between them be explained by the simple words "lack of love"?

Mu Rong felt a headache after hearing this.

He didn't expect the girl's memory to be so good... At that time, in order to conceal the truth of his rebirth, he was afraid that Xu Rongrong would suspect the real reason for his proposal, so he deliberately led her to think that he proposed to her in public because he was angry with Lin Jiaoyue.

The result has left me with such a huge hidden danger today.

He raised his hand and rubbed his forehead.

"It was because I discovered her affair with the Fourth Prince that I realized I had no love for her. Her passing was just like losing a friend. I had doubts and reluctance, but I didn't feel any pain. But Rongrong, you are different..."

When you left, you took away all the sunshine in my life.

Xu Rongrong raised her head and looked at him, but found that there seemed to be endless pain hidden in his eyes.

She didn't know what to say for a moment.

But Mu Rong did not stop: "I never thought that I would really fall in love with a woman... So, when that woman appeared, I panicked. I was afraid that I would betray the friendship of my predecessors, and I was also afraid that this was my nature of getting tired of the old and liking the new, and I was even more afraid that I would lose the one I loved."

He said these words to Xu Rongrong in his previous life.

At that time, the Marquis' Mansion was full of vitality because of her appearance.

Whenever he looked back, he could see a yellow figure hiding not far behind him. He went from being annoyed and uncomfortable at first to looking forward to it later...

When he found that the figure no longer appeared, he was completely panicked.

But what made him more panicked was the inexplicable feelings in his heart.

If he really fell in love with her, wouldn't that be a betrayal to Lin Jiaoyue? A betrayal to the person who had accompanied him throughout his youth?

He decided that he couldn't make any more mistakes, so he let go completely and allowed her to struggle and sink in the Marquis' Mansion.

However, this decision made him feel heavier day by day.

He began to visit her secretly in the middle of the night.

He sneaked into her room like a thief. She was obviously his woman, but he didn't dare to touch her at all.

He was afraid of losing control.

But the day when things got out of control finally came.

When she needed help the most, when she wanted to give up everything in exchange for Wen Yao and Luo Shu, whom she regarded as sisters.

He took everything from her.

Afterwards, he fled.

Like a shameless thief, he escaped in a despicable manner.

Extremely shameless!
