A man and woman who have just confirmed their relationship separate themselves from each other with great self-control.Su Li walked to the door and watched Colonel Brandon get on the horse and leave slowly with three turns.She pressed her fists to her chest—

God!

Her heart is about to jump out!

Back in the room, she couldn't wait to take out the letter paper, and wrote a letter to Mrs. Dashwood, which described her good news carefully.And it was handed over to Ford Butler the next morning. Of course, she also spent two pennies of postage to send an urgent letter.

In the next few days, Marianne wrote several letters to Willoughby, but sadly, she did not receive a single reply.It was as if Willoughby hadn't received her letter, which made the flowery Marianne wither quickly.

She could not see her sister like this, so, on the way back from the opera with Brandon one evening, she asked about Willoughby.But Brandon didn't seem to want to talk about him at all, and there was a lot of resistance in his expression and words.

"Did something unfortunate happen to Willoughby?" She asked with some concern, "Or is it that he is no longer in London?"

"No, he didn't have any misfortunes. Of course, he still stays in London. And..." Brandon paused here, as if he didn't know whether he should say the next thing.

"And what?" Su Li asked.

Brandon glanced at Su Li, turned his head out of the window again, and finally compromised under the pleading eyes of the girl: "I think it's just a good girl who has something to do with Willoughby unfortunately. Tomorrow night maybe you will Understood." In the end, although he revealed something, he still refused to tell Su Li the truth.

The next evening she and Marianne put on their new dresses, their hair done, and their unfashionable but pleasant jewelry.Finally, put on the shawl, put on the coat, took the handbag and walked out the door.

Brandon...

Mrs. Jennings laughed as soon as she saw the people waiting at the door: "Oh, Brandon! Are you here to fetch Eleanor? Young men and women are always so sweet!" She turned to Su Li, her voice loud All could hear: "Go! My good Eleanor! Go to your lover! I'm not one of those old bums who would disturb a lover's sweetness!"

Su Li's face turned red all of a sudden, you must know that there are many celebrities living in this street!Moreover, most people will attend today's dinner, and there are quite a few carriages parked on the street.Similarly, there are many ladies dressed up and rushing to the ball.

Lucy Steele laughed too, thinking of her lover.

Only Marianne urgently urged Mrs. Jennings. She looked at Su Li and said, "Eleanor, get on the bus with Colonel Brandon! The dance is about to begin!" She was already anxious to see her She's got Willoughby!

"Eleanor..." Brandon saluted Mrs. Jennings and the ladies, then walked up to Su Li and stretched out a hand, leading her to his carriage.Then, he also sat up.

The space of the carriage is not very large. After all, this is a carriage for a dance party rather than a carriage for traveling. The space inside can only accommodate four people.

Su Li looked at the interior of the carriage, then looked at the night view outside the window, and finally turned her gaze to her skirt and ribbon slippers, but she dared not look at Colonel Brandon who was staring at her with burning eyes.

"Eleanor..." Brandon reached out and took Su Li's hand, which was holding the handkerchief on her lap.Both of them were slightly startled, and the man smiled contentedly: "It's only a day, but I already miss you crazily."

Su Li lowered her head, trying to hide her flushed cheeks, but she didn't expect that the always calm colonel would be so explicit when he spoke sweet words.

"Do you miss me, Eleanor?"

"Thinking..." Of course she really wanted to, she didn't even sleep well last night.

"I wrote back to the manor a few days ago and asked the servants to start renovating the manor. What style do you like?" Brandon squeezed the girl's soft and boneless hands, and simply went into battle with both hands, studying over and over again.

Su Li suddenly raised her head when she heard this: "Style?"

"What style does the hostess like?" Brandon's eyes were full of smiles. He let go of one hand and raised it to tie the hair on the girl's cheek behind her ear: "My manor is a bit old, and it has never been After my father's generation, I haven't taken care of it well. After my brother passed away, I just cleaned it roughly. I live alone. There is no problem. However, I want to renovate it before May this year, so that it can welcome the daughter of the manor. Master." He actually has a manor elsewhere, but he doesn't have many friends there.And Sir John is hospitable, although sometimes some jokes are a bit too much, but it is much better than staying alone in that manor!Although the manor he lives in is a bit dilapidated, but because it is the place where he grew up, he has a deep affection for it.So he lived in Delaford Manor most of the year.

But it is different now, he already has a beloved girl and his fiancée, of course the manor needs to be refurbished so that his lover can live more comfortably.

Su Li was completely speechless, even though she promised to marry the man in front of her yesterday.But in fact, she didn't have any real feelings!I suddenly asked about the decoration of the house today, would it be too fast...

So shy~(@^_^@)~

Brandon saw the girl's shyness, but he leaned forward viciously, and put one hand on the seat leather cushion beside the girl, the distance between them was extremely close.However, he soon realized the mistake of his move.The girl's virgin, Xinxiang, continued to drill into his nose, and his lower abdomen burned.He was so startled that he immediately backed away and finished, then put his legs together and took the hat that was set aside in his hand to cover it in an awkward place to prevent being rude.

Su Li was a little confused at first, didn't she want to tease her?She is ready!Why did you back away suddenly?

Then, she saw that pose...

He is obviously a very domineering president, with a very gentlemanly and elegant posture, but when matched with the unnatural look on the man's face, he becomes ambiguous.

oh~~~

#Hey hey hey! #

She nodded knowingly in her heart, but on the face she kept her head down like a shy British lady and said nothing.

Brandon breathed a sigh of relief, and began to imitate the girl's appearance, either looking down at his hands, or looking up out of the window.Although it's mostly pitch black...

The place where the ball was held was not far from Mrs. Jennings's address, and in less than ten minutes, Su Li was led out of the carriage by Colonel Brandon.

Mrs. Jennings had already taken Marianne and Miss Lucy Steele into the ball. After all, a lady who came alone must be led by an older lady to be polite.Su Li has a male companion by her side, so she doesn't need Mrs. Jennings' recommendation.After all, this is a social dance, and it is for single young men and women to find their other half.

"Willoughby..." As soon as the dance was over, Su Li was resting on a chair by the curtain, waiting for Brandon to bring her juice, when she saw her younger sister Marianne staring at the front with a blank expression, stumbling after her. out...

She quickly stood up and followed, grabbing Marianne: "Marian!"

"It's Willoughby!" Marianne's face was full of confusion, and her brows were furrowed. "I saw him! But why did he pretend not to know me?" She wanted to break free from her sister's grip. hand, and walked towards his lover.

"No, Marianne!" Su Li never thought that Marianne's strength would be so great, and she could hardly hold her back: "Marianne, this is too rude. At least until Mr. Willoughby is alone. .”

Marian was temporarily persuaded, but the fact that her sweetheart turned a blind eye to her just now and the other girl in his arms was enough for her to know something.The fact that she can still stand here now is just deceiving herself and expecting a little from Willoughby.

At last Willoughby came up the stairs, and it seemed that they would have no chance of finding him tonight for the private conversation that belonged to Marianne and him.

"Eleanor...I'm so uncomfortable." After saying this, Marianne's legs softened and leaned against Su Li's slender body.Fortunately Mrs. Jennings saw it, and hurried over to help.The group of them had to leave the ball in a hurry.

Before leaving, she turned and looked at Colonel Brandon who was chasing him out: "You always knew what Willoughby was like?" She couldn't believe that her lover would hide such important news.

Brandon lowered his eyes slightly: "Eleanor, I..." He paused: "I'm sorry, but the timing is not right now. Tomorrow, I will write to you and tell you everything I know."

Su Li nodded. Indeed, the occasion is not right here, and Marian still needs her care.

She nodded, stretched out her hand and shook the man's fist clenched because of nervousness: "Tomorrow, I will wait for your letter."

Because she had to take care of the sad Marian, Su Li didn't go back to her room at night, but hugged Marian to comfort her and stayed in her room.

Early the next morning, the winter morning was very cold, and Marianne couldn't wait for the maid to come in to live, or the sun to bring light and heat, so she leaned against the window, crying like a fountain, and writing hard.Su Li was awakened by her crying, got out of bed and gently touched her back.She knew that she, who was so sweetly in love, could say nothing in front of her poor sister, and that all she could do was to accompany Marianne through this difficult time.

At breakfast, Marianne was still in the same state of despair, she hadn't eaten anything, while Su Li was desperately trying to direct Mrs. Jennings's eyes to her, so that Mrs. Jennings's words were not so inappropriate. Don't tell Marianne your jokes.After all, Marianne and Willoughby were too high-profile some time ago, and the people near Barton Manor basically knew about the sweet relationship between her and Willoughby.

Happily Mrs. Jennings, though fond of jests, understood when she saw Marianne's expression.Therefore, she cooperated very well with Su Li and chatted about the costumes and jewelry of the ladies at the ball yesterday.She didn't say a word about her favorite little joke about who is with whom.
