My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

You know, I've never been a meddlesome person. It's just that when I look at you two these years, I really don't understand. Do you like Cousin Zhao?

Xia Meng raised her eyebrows. No one had ever asked her this before.

Why did you ask so?

In the early spring of this year, I originally planned to give you spring clothes, but I saw cousin Zhao standing at your door, as if he wanted to knock on the door. Seeing that I was there, he left in a hurry, and there he was. After that, I saw that the two of you have been avoiding each other. If you can't meet, you will definitely not meet. Even if you do meet, you rarely talk, so I asked this question.

Xia Meng was a little embarrassed. She never knew what to say about Chuchun.

But she is not the kind of person who hides things. Since Du Jingyi asked, she spoke frankly, so she said with a calm expression.

One time, he got a jar of good wine. I happened to be passing by and I thought about trying it. As a result, I drank too much. When I woke up, I found that we had slept. He told me several times that he wanted to try it. Responsible, but I...but I don't think it's a big deal, and I don't want to be tied to him for the rest of my life.

Du Jingyi was shocked and didn't know how to continue this topic.

Falling asleep is not a big deal. I don't want to. Du Jingyi can't take it no matter what he says.

Although the folk customs in Daxing Dynasty were open and women could reconcile and divorce, it was always inappropriate to be together without being married. Moreover, the two of them acted as if nothing had happened afterwards, and they really didn't know what to say.

scared?

Xia Meng's expression was very relaxed when she said this, not at all like Du Jingyi's, and her calmness also made Du Jingyi a little worried. Could it be that she was stimulated and her brain was damaged?

So, he said quickly.

Cousin Zhao is a good person. Although he is a bit older, he is very reliable. My aunt's family are also kind people. If you are together, she will be very happy to know that she will go north immediately. I’m planning a happy event for you two.”

A happy event? Where does happiness come from? We both have no relationship foundation, so we want to get married just because of such a thing?

Xia Meng shook his head, his expression full of calmness.

I'm not a woman like you here, and I don't value these things, so since it's a misunderstanding, let it go. We're fine as we are now.

Really? But you were quite surprised just now when you found out that cousin Zhao was leaving.

What surprises me is not that he is leaving, but that he is going to join the army. I have never seen or participated in the life in the military camp, but I know that he will have to endure a lot of hardships. I am surprised that a noble man like him wants to go. This is it. ♛☟♦”

Du Jingyi was shocked. It turned out that he had misunderstood. He sighed and said.

Actually, when you two came here together, I thought it would be great if you could be together. Later, I saw that you two were as calm as relatives, so I didn't think about it in this aspect. But there is one thing. Although you are like this Thoughts, but have you heard what cousin Zhao thinks? Hasn’t he always said that he wants to be responsible? Could it be that he actually cares about you?

Du Jingyi's words made Xia Meng fall into silence.

She had always felt that his so-called responsibility was just because the two had a close relationship, but she never thought about it. After being reminded like this, Xia Meng had another perspective.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Du Jingyi hurriedly continued to express his position.

Right, I'm afraid you two haven't had a serious talk since this happened. You think you don't want him to take responsibility for the sake of responsibility, but he might also think that you dislike him because of this, so you go back and forth. There is a gap between you two, and Cousin Zhao has the idea of ​​being discouraged, and it is not impossible for him to go to the military camp and beat him up.

Really? You mean he joined the army because of me?

It's not impossible.

Xia Meng frowned, obviously hearing this, but Du Jingyi saw her reaction and didn't say anything more. He just stayed with her quietly and let her figure it out on her own.

Fortunately, Xia Meng spoke up not long after.

She didn't have a coy temper to begin with, so since there was such a possibility, she didn't have to guess and just asked directly.

Where's Xing Zhao? Let me go and make it clear to him. If he really wants to join the army because of me, it's not necessary.

Seeing that the two of them finally had a chance to have a good talk, Du Jingyi felt happy in his heart, but he still had to calm down on his face, so he said calmly.

It should be in his own yard. He said he would leave in two days. He is probably packing his luggage now.

Well, then I'll go over and have a look, but if he's not there, please find someone to tell him. I have something to talk to him about.

Okay, okay, I will definitely bring it!

If you talk about it, it means there is still a chance.

Du Jingyi thought it was very good, so he took one bite.

Seeing this, Xia Meng stood up and said goodbye, running to the yard where Xing Zhao was. Unfortunately, Xing Zhao was not there. Instead, he saw Butler He and several servants coming in and out to pack things.

Seeing this scene, Xia Meng realized that Xing Zhao was really leaving.

How can I put it, she doesn't have any attachment to her, but she still has some feelings for the kittens and puppies when they see her every day, let alone such a big living person.

She was in a low mood, but Butler He happened to meet her when he turned around, so he stepped forward and asked.

Why are you here, Miss Xia? But you need to see Mr. Ciao if you have something?

Well, where are the others?

I went out, but I didn't say when I would come back. Are you anxious?

There's no rush. If he comes back, just tell him. I have something to say. Just ask him to come to my yard.

Butler He nodded and agreed.

Seeing that no one was there, Xia Meng went back. Originally, he wanted to continue reading, but he turned over a few pages and couldn't read, so he just went to sleep with his head down.

When I woke up, it was already evening.

She stretched her waist and was moving her muscles when she heard a movement outside.

you're awake?

When he heard that the voice belonged to Xing Zhao, Xia Meng was stunned, and then asked.

when did you come?

I've been here for about two-quarters of an hour. My cousin and Butler He both told me that you wanted to see me for something, so I came over.

Although Xing Zhao looked calm when he said this, if you look carefully, the corners of his mouth still trembled slightly.

Several months had passed, and he was still a little uncomfortable when facing Xia Meng. (End of chapter)
