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

After saying the last sentence, her eyes, which were originally full of stars and mesmerizing, were filled with tears.

But she held back.

The tears rolled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to fall.

Shen Du's heart was in a knot.

He couldn't help but stand up and reach out to pull her.

"Ali, I'm not... I just had no choice but to hide it from you!"

She dodged.

A tear fell on the back of his hand.

His heart also shrank, and he couldn't help but retract his fingers.

"Ali, believe me, some things may not be a good thing even if you know them."

He silently placed a silk handkerchief in her hand.

"What Cui Fangyi said doesn't exist at all. Jingzhao Prefecture has already reached a conclusion..."

"You still want to hide it!" Cui Lingyi threw the handkerchief back in her hand and widened her eyes.

"Don't you think I don't know that you made it for people to see?"

"Ali, the fact is that the Yan Wang family is causing trouble..."

"That's enough!" Cui Lingyi interrupted him rudely, "Then why don't you explain why you keep chasing Yue Shuyan and beating him?"

Their eyes met again.

She saw the stubbornness, persistence, and obstinacy in his eyes...

With just one glance, she knew that he would never be able to tell her the reason.

She didn't know what to say.

Shen Du has indeed changed a lot in this life.

But what remained unchanged was that he was still unwilling to be open and honest with her.

She also thought that maybe he had his own difficulties and was hiding something.

She even thought that what he was hiding was really bad.

He didn't want to put himself through it.

But if two people really want to live together, shouldn’t they be honest with each other?

Even if it's for her own good, at least let her know.

Ask her if she is willing to spend her life in this state of ignorance?

At least, she can't do it in this life.

Sure enough, he spoke.

Familiar big things become small things.

"Ah Li, you know Yue Shuyan is not a good person. I just don't like him, so I'll beat him up..."

Don't like it?

Did he forget that he is famously cold?

Never meddle in other people's business.

When would someone who never even says a word pay attention to someone like Yue Shuyan?

There are many noblemen in the capital who are disliked by others, so why doesn't he chase after others and beat them up?

Cui Lingyi took a deep breath.

"I know you asked someone to bring some medicine from the two lakes and gave it to Zhenzhu. What kind of medicine is that? What disease does it cure?"

"Don't I have the right to know about my own illness?"

"Don't say that the herb was for someone else. I saw Sister Pearl use it to make new pills."

As she spoke, she spread out her sleeves and placed a medicine bottle between the two of them.

"that's it."

"I also know that you asked Sister Pearl not to tell me the true condition of my illness?"

"Shen Du, what disease do I have? I hope you can at least tell me this!"

A complicated expression flashed across Shen Du's handsome face.

I can’t tell whether I’m sad or confused.

"Ali, I...you just have low blood sugar, it's not a serious illness."

Cui Lingyi stared at him for a long time.

He didn't say a word for a long time.

Finally, she stood up and said something.

"I see."

She left without looking back.

Shen Du chased after her and closed her open lips.

Several times...

After all, he didn't say anything.

In the following days, the two seemed to have reconciled.

At least in the eyes of outsiders, the two have reconciled.

Cui Lingyi did not hide from Shen Du as she did in the past.

I never said that the engagement didn't exist.

Shen Du asked for leave, saying that he wanted to prepare for his marriage, and would come to see her every day.

Shen Sheng came again.

If she asked him or her anything else, the Marquis' Mansion would take care of it all.

The frequency with which her two uncles and aunt came over increased significantly, all for her marriage.

"Ah Li, the Shen family wants to get things done before the end of the year, what do you think?"

"It's up to my aunt and uncle to decide! I'm fine with either."

Cui Lingyi was busy with the account book in her hand and didn't even raise her head.

"Ali, why do you seem unhappy lately?" Aunt Qiu said bluntly.

Cui Lingyi shifted her eyes away from the account book and smiled.

"Aunt, you're wrong. I've been very busy lately and don't have time to be unhappy."

"Look at you, kid. You still seem unhappy?" Second Auntie came closer to her and said, "Tell me, do you not want to marry Shen Du anymore?!"

"How can you say that?" Cui Lingyi frowned, "My mother arranged the marriage, and I will follow her wishes."

"From what you said, I can tell that you have some objections!" Aunt Qiu took over the conversation.

"Ali, my aunt still says the same thing, just find a rich man and live a life of luxury. Just find someone like Qi Zhongxiu, who is friendly and good-looking. He can't go out these days, and he's always thinking about you..."

Cui Lingyi really didn't want to hear anything about Qi Zhongxiu, so she interrupted and said, "Of course I listen to my mother."

Qiu was rough and didn't realize anything, so he just nodded.

"The marriage your mother arranged for you was not wrong. The young marquis is a rare talent, so of course he is the best. I hope you can live a good life..."

Second aunt Liang continued, "How can she not live well? Young Marquis, you don't need to say anything. Madam Shen also has no objection. I heard that she is also arranging the marriage in the mansion. Ah Li will definitely have a good life in the future."

Hearing this, Cui Lingyi couldn't help but recall the first time Shen Sheng came to the house.

He said that Mrs. Shen was not Shen Du's biological mother and had no right to interfere in the engagement.

It is also said that Shen Du’s biological mother is still alive.

According to the legend, she was the woman who had sworn sworn brotherhood with her mother.

From the perspective of etiquette, since the two families have reached this stage in discussing marriage, she should go and meet them.

But in her past and present lives, she had never seen such a person in the Marquis' Mansion.

Shen Sheng avoided the topic and talked about the trivial matter.

Shen Du simply didn't mention it...

what on earth is this kind of happenings?

I just felt a fog before my eyes and I couldn't put it into words.

During this period, Qi Zhongxiu had someone send her a gift, but she returned it directly.

Chen You is here too.

This time he brought fresh fruits and vegetables.

It's cold today, so this thing is hard to get.

I don’t know where he got it, but he was willing to give it to her.

Cui Lingyi did not refuse, but had the gift accepted and gave a salmon in return.

Sure enough, when he saw the fish, Chen You’s originally bright eyes dimmed little by little, and finally became extinguished.

She understood Chen You’s thoughts, but some people are destined to be just passing by.

When she left, she personally saw him out the door and said goodbye.

"Mr. Chen, I'm afraid we won't have the chance to see each other again. The Spring Examination is coming soon. I wish you success in the examination."

Chen You slightly clenched his hand holding the fish and bowed.

"Thank you, Miss Cui. I also wish you all your wishes come true and a fulfilling life."

"I will."

When I turned around, I saw Shen Du coming in at some point.

Standing there, looking at her quietly.
