The cold husband can't warm me up, I don't love him anymore

"Sister Zhenzhu, you really can't go a day without making fun of me!" Cui Lingyi was really helpless.

Feng Zhenzhu spread her hands and smiled like a scoundrel.

"Am I kidding? Am I not telling the truth?"

“...It’s up to you!” Cui Lingyi shook her head.

She was really confused.

I wanted to say no, but when I thought about how much help Shen Du had just given me, it would be unreasonable not to meet him.

Furthermore, she should make her attitude clear at this time and not let Shen Du keep chasing her like this.

There will be no result anyway.

Front yard, Fengbo Pavilion.

Shen Du kept repeating Xu Junyao's warning in his mind.

"Shen Du, don't blame me for not reminding you! It was fine in Shangyang before. Xiao A Li wouldn't stay in that place for a long time anyway, let alone fall in love with any man there. But now that she's in Shangjing, it's hard to say."

"She is now the owner of a clinic, so she has to show up in public. The people she comes into contact with are all men."

"Speaking of which, Shangjing is a prosperous city with many talented people. Can't you find a few noblemen who look just like you?"

"You never know when she will be moved by those men's sweet words."

"Let me tell you, when she was renovating the shop a few days ago, several matchmakers came to inquire about her! It looks like someone has already started to target her!"

"Look at you. You can't even say a soft word, and you don't understand romance. I really don't know what you have this face for? How come you can't exude any charm at all?"

"Look at you, you are reaping the fruits of your own actions. Ah Li loved you deeply at the beginning, and you can drive her away like this. I admire you!"

"You have to flirt with her, flirt with her! Express it to her! If you don't like her, just tell her!"

"If you don't take the initiative, it will be too late. Ah Li has already reached the age of marriage, and she will get married sooner or later. If she doesn't choose you by then, what will you do?"

"........."

When walking along the corridor, Cui Lingyi saw Shen Du's handsome and extraordinary figure from afar.

He was standing by the railing, gazing at the lotus pond in front of him.

A breeze blew, causing his black robe to flutter gently.

From a distance, he looked like he was being carried by a group of black butterflies.

Dangerous, mysterious, yet amazingly fascinating.

Cui Lingyi stared blankly for a while before coming to her senses.

He quickly broke himself in anger.

"You really have never seen a man before! Every time you see him, you can't get enough of him. In this state, how can you refuse him?"

Cui Lingyi calmed down, suppressed the silent throbbing, and walked slowly into the courtyard.

"Meet Commander Shen."

"Ali!"

Shen Du turned around.

His handsome eyebrows were slightly frowned, and there was a hint of unhappiness in his cold voice.

But when their eyes met, Shen Du's brows softened visibly.

He was born exquisite.

This softening instantly gave her a pitiful look.

She had never seen Shen Du like this before.

Too sticky for her eyes.

Cui Lingyi quickly turned her face away.

"Commander Shen, please come and sit down."

She said this in a dissembling manner, picking up the teapot and pouring a cup.

He then pushed a plate of grilled fish fillets on the table to the table opposite.

"Try our new grilled fish fillet. I don't know how Feng Zhenzhu came up with this idea. Slice the salmon and grill it over good charcoal. It's a great snack."

As Cui Lingyi spoke, she went to sit down at the table.

Shen Du paused for a moment, then finally came over and sat down opposite her.

But his eyes were always on her.

"Ali, can you please not call me like that?"

"Sure." Cui Lingyi nodded briskly.

"Since you don't like the title of Commander... from now on, I will call you Sir, or Marquis? Both titles are good. How about you choose one for yourself?"

Shen Du's tone sank, "Ali..."

"How about we take turns calling each other? That seems fairer!"

Cui Lingyi interrupted before he could speak.

"I haven't thanked you for your help today. Tomorrow, the Xiancao Clinic will open. There shouldn't be anyone to cause trouble. This is all thanks to the Marquis. I and the entire Xiancao Clinic would like to thank you..."

"Ali..." Shen Du frowned, obviously a little annoyed.

Cui Lingyi didn't care and continued talking.

"If you feel that this verbal thanks is not sincere, you can also make a request? As long as our Immortal Herb Clinic can do it, we will definitely do our best to satisfy you, sir."

"Ali! You know what I want! Don't do this to me!"

Shen Du finally couldn't hold back any longer.

His handsome face almost turned pale.

He suddenly felt that things might really be sliding down in the direction that Xu Junyao had warned him.

Cui Lingyi said that she no longer liked him and she really didn't plan to come back.

He really didn't like this feeling.

These days, he was busy getting everything settled before the clinic opened.

I just want to see her smile and change her attitude towards him a little.

I just didn't expect that...she was still so lukewarm...

He was really upset.

"I don't quite understand what you are saying, Lord. Isn't it normal and polite for me to treat you like this?"

"You are here, I came to see you obediently, poured you tea, chatted with you, and introduced you to food. Is there anything I did wrong?"

Cui Lingyi looked at him with an innocent little face.

A pair of big eyes, twinkling, with innocent confusion.

"......"

Shen Du just felt powerless.

Cui Lingyi is right.

She was really treating him like a friend.

But he was not satisfied with this.

She used to chase him like that.

A pair of eyes full of him.

But now?

Even if he and she sat face to face as they did in the past, they could see and feel nothing.

The Cui Lingyi who used to look at him with joy has completely disappeared.

She was wearing a light blue dress and changed into a loose bun after returning from the clinic.

There is a pleasing laziness to the look.

It reminded him of some kind of snow-white cat.

She just stretched lazily, but he couldn't take his eyes off her.

No matter how much I look at it, I can’t get enough of it.

The unreasonable irritability in my heart suddenly subsided.

Yes, what reason did he have to ask her?

He had been so cold to her before, and she had never made any requests.

She just watched quietly.

Compared to her, he didn't do enough.

Or maybe his change was not enough, not enough for Cui Lingyi to accept him again and forgive her.

Thinking of this, Shen Du felt a burning hope in his heart again.

"Ali, I was too impatient just now. I shouldn't have said that. Please don't be angry with me, okay?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but want to grab the slender, white hand opposite him.
