Wen Ning blinked and hid her emotions. Now that nothing has happened yet, their marriage has fallen through, and perhaps Shen Jin's future will also change.

"Second Young Master Shen." Seeing Shen Jin approaching, Wen Ning greeted him politely.

Shen Jin was not polite, he reached out and held her wrist, and quickly led her to the corridor.

"A Ning, but my mother said something unpleasant yesterday that angered you?" The two came to a deserted corner, and Shen Jin asked anxiously with red eyes.

Wen Ning had already suppressed her emotions and had already thought about how to talk to Shen Jin.

She pulled out her wrist, took two steps back, put some distance between herself and Shen Jin, and then blessed her body and said: "Second Young Master Shen, it's not that your father-in-law said anything unpleasant, but..."

Wen Ning paused, lowered her eyebrows and said, "But ever since I heard that Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen came to discuss marriage a few days ago, A-Ning has been feeling uneasy. After thinking about it carefully, I realized...it turns out that it's because A-Ning has already been married in recent years. The second young master is treated as a relative, just like a real brother. Ah Ning really can’t imagine getting married with someone like an elder brother..."

"Second Young Master..." Wen Ning bit her red lips, looking forward to him, "Do you understand?"

Shen Jin joined the army at the age of fifteen. Compared with other noble men in the capital, his skin was particularly brown, but his temperament was still elegant and he did not look like a man who would kill on the battlefield.

Wen Ning said with concern and caution: "Second Young Master, noon has arrived. My eldest brother is preparing a meal in the dining hall ahead. Why don't you join us? My eldest brother must also miss you very much."

In the past, she would blush when talking to him, wishing she could hide behind Linglan. How could she talk about her daughter's family affairs so generously?

But in just three months, has the past friendship with her disappeared?

"A Ning, are you...are you..."

Wen Ning sighed, so she had to do this evil thing.

But what she said was impeccable, and no matter her expression or movements, it was impossible to tell that she was lying.

Hearing Wen Ning's answer, the urgency on his face was gradually replaced by disappointment, his eyes became redder, and he said softly: "A Ning, do you really mean what you said?"

I thought that the relationship between the two would be different when they met again, but I never thought...

She thought about her performance just now and found that she was quite satisfied. She didn't expect that she had a talent for acting.

But Wen Ning looks very good, even though it's because of the makeup...

Shen Jin wanted to ask her if she had anything to hide, but he saw Wen Ning waiting patiently for his words with her big water-colored eyes open, as if she was hiding something unspeakable...

Shen Jin looked at Wen Ning carefully. After listening to what his mother said yesterday, he stayed up almost all night, and he is still in a daze until now.

After this, Shen Jin must have given up. Even if he didn't give up, he still knew that Luo Hua had no intention of getting married, and their marriage was no longer possible.

"No..." he repeated unconsciously and turned around in despair.

I was really buried in my previous life.

She was no stranger to this Zhaitang. Wen Tingchun would come to Ci'en Temple every year to chant sutras and pray for his deceased mother, and he would take the opportunity to have a vegetarian meal here. Since it is a Zhaitang, it is not as elaborate as restaurants outside. It has private seats and private rooms. The halls are all connected, with only some round tables of different sizes placed.

The Wen Ning we see today is indeed different from before.

Wen Ning walked slowly while adjusting her mood. She would have to explain the matter with Shen Jin to Wen Lan again during the meal. In this way, the matter would be concluded.

She also felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. But whether it was for her own good or for his own good, their marriage would not work out.

Shen Jin lowered his head and shook his head: "No..."

Thinking of this, Shen Jin asked without giving up: "Ah Ning, you put on makeup today, is it because..." You didn't sleep last night, and your face looks haggard?

Before he could finish his words, Wen Ning raised her head and said in surprise: "Young master, have you noticed it too? Ri Linglan bought me a box of Qixiangju's rouge the other day, which is particularly beautiful. When I have my second sister-in-law in the future, I will definitely give her a few boxes. .”

Besides...

Wen Ning saw him dragging his lonely steps farther and farther away, and then she put away the innocent expression on her face.

"Second Young Master, Ah Ning does think so." Wen Ning lowered her eyes and whispered, "I'm really sorry. I've always regarded you as my brother before I knew it... so I was a little panicked when I heard that we were getting married. ...What she said to her uncle and aunt yesterday was really disrespectful. Ah Ning will definitely apologize to her uncle and aunt face to face when she sees her again in the future."

Wen Ning had been brewing her words for a while, and she had already arrived at the entrance of the dining hall.

That's right. He and Wen Ning haven't seen each other for three months. He finished his border duty more than a week ago and went home for a rest. He just urged Shen Gaolan to go to the Wen family to propose marriage.

Wen Ning sighed again, thinking that when this talent would be useful in the future, it would need to be tempered more.

When Shen Jin came over today, he didn't want to hear Wen Ning's apology.

Wen Ning didn't seem to understand what he meant, and she obviously didn't put on makeup to cover up her haggardness. The light that had just been ignited in Shen Jin's eyes was extinguished again.

After standing in the corridor for a while, Wen Ning calmed down her emotions and walked towards the dining hall.

Unable to ask the last word, Shen Jin turned away his eyes, his face even more gray.

Today is not a special day, and there are not many people in the dining hall. Wen Ning glanced at Linglan who was laying out bowls in front of a table, and was about to ask her eldest brother when she heard Wen Lan's joyful voice: "Forgive me. You and I are really destined to meet each other again here."

Wen Ning suddenly paused as she stepped in. It was like hearing thunder, and the hairs all over her body stood up.

Pei You, courtesy name Shuzhi.

In her previous life, this person forcefully carved these five words into her bones and blood, making her timid and afraid of them. She would never forget it, let alone if she had to do it again, even if it happened two or three times.
