Chapter 321 It’s purely a coincidence
After hearing these tender words, the excitement in Li Roujia's eyes slowly disappeared, and she pouted her lips.
"Brother Cheng'an is leaving soon, why did you bring me here?"
Mei Chengan touched her hair, smiled and said softly.
"It's not like I won't be back."
Li Roujia lowered her eyes and her tone was very depressed.
"But it will take a long time for you to come back."
Mei Cheng'an held her little face, lifted it up, gently pressed her red lips with his fingers, and smiled.
"You can pout so high. Oh, come on, don't be unhappy. It's only a few months. It will pass quickly."
Li Roujia pulled his hand away, threw herself into his arms, hugged his waist tightly, and whispered softly.
"But I can't bear to see Brother Cheng'an leave me for so long."
Mei Cheng'an hugged her slender waist, patted her little head gently from behind, smiled helplessly, and said nothing.
It was quiet for a long time before Li Roujia in his arms spoke softly.
"Why doesn't Brother Cheng'an speak?"
Mei Cheng'an sniffed the fragrance on her body and said softly.
"Because I don't know what to say."
Li Roujia was silent for a moment and then spoke again in a low voice.
"Am I being too unreasonable and making things difficult for you?"
Mei Chengan smiled and patted her butt lightly.
"What nonsense! How can you say you are being unreasonable if you can't bear to leave me? I'm so happy, how can I feel embarrassed?"
After a pause, he spoke softly.
"You can't bear to leave me, and I can't bear to leave you either. I'm thinking whether I should take the initiative to resign from His Majesty and not go this time."
When Li Roujia heard this, she quickly broke free from his arms and looked up at him.
"How can that be possible! The imperial edict has already come down. What's the difference between resigning now and disobeying the imperial edict? The emperor's uncle has such a bad temper...
If the emperor's uncle gets the impression that you are not doing your job properly and cannot distinguish between public and private affairs, it will affect your future.
No, no, absolutely not, I'm just being a little bit petty, Brother Chengan, please don't be impulsive!"
Mei Chengan couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
Although it is not appropriate to play tricks on your own daughter-in-law, you should still say it. The effect of retreating to advance is indeed immediate.
Looking at his beloved daughter-in-law with big eyes full of anxiety, Mei Cheng'an couldn't help but stretch out his hands and gently pinch her pretty face.
"Oh~ How can my little Roujia be so sensible, so understanding, and so cute~ Let me kiss her."
As he said this, he lowered his head and stretched out his mouth.
Li Roujia hurriedly reached out and held Mei Chengan's chin.
"Brother Cheng'an, you must promise me first that you will not act impulsively, otherwise you will forget about kissing me, and I will be angry too."
"..."
Mei Cheng'an blinked, pretended to be embarrassed, thought for a moment, and then nodded.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, we can kiss now..."
As he was about to lower his head again, Li Roujia's pretty face turned red. She pressed his chin even harder and looked around in panic.
"No, no, it's broad daylight. What if someone sees us? It's so embarrassing."
"There's no one here. We've run so far away, and the wild flowers around are so tall. Don't worry, we won't be able to see you."
Bow your head and resist.
"That won't work either. It's too sudden. I, I'm not mentally prepared yet."
"What kind of mental preparation do I need for this? You're just trying to be perfunctory with me. It's been a long time since we last kissed. Now I'm leaving, and you..."
Bow your head and resist.
Li Roujia's slightly flustered eyes rolled around wildly.
"No, no... Brother Cheng'an, you, how about we go and eavesdrop on the conversation between my cousin and Fan Xian? What do you think?"
"Hi~"
Mei Cheng calmed down, blinked his eyes, and after a struggle between his gossiping heart and lustful heart, he slowly let go of his wife.
"feasible!"
Li Roujia breathed a sigh of relief and apologized to her cousin in her heart.
"Brother Cheng'an, do you know where my cousin and Fan Xian are?"
You know what, Mei Chengan really knew it. Before they separated, he deliberately glanced over there to prevent the two sides from running into the same place.
"I don't know the exact location, but I can see the general direction. If we keep going along the way, we should be able to find them."
"Then let's..."
"go!"
After roughly confirming the direction, Mei Cheng'an grabbed his wife's hand and started running wildly.
……
As Mei Cheng'an expected, after finding the right direction, they soon saw the figures of Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er.
The couple ran farther than Mei Cheng'an and Li Roujia. From afar, Fan Xian was facing away from Lin Wan'er, and no one knew what he was doing.
Mei Cheng'an and his wife quietly approached and stopped at a position where they could clearly see the two people's expressions and hear their conversation, but were not too close to be discovered by them.
After looking at each other and seeing the excitement in each other's eyes, they turned their heads to look at the center of the stage and listened attentively.
Fan Xian, who had his back to Lin Wan'er, spoke.
"If I don't go to Northern Qi, I'm afraid the engagement will no longer exist."
Lin Wan'er behind him asked.
"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
Fan Xian looked up at the sky and sighed.
"Who else could it be?"
Li Roujia, who was in the dark, widened her eyes and exclaimed softly when she heard this.
"The emperor's uncle actually threatened him to go to Northern Qi by using his marriage to his cousin? Is this true, Brother Cheng'an?"
Mei Chengan looked ahead intently and nodded when he heard this.
Li Roujia curled her lips.
"That uncle is too bad."
"Shh~ Little ancestor, keep your voice down, or you'll be heard."
"oh oh."
Li Roujia covered her mouth and looked forward again. After brewing her emotions for a while, Lin Wan'er suddenly spoke loudly to Fan Xian's back.
"If you don't have an engagement, you can elope!"
Upon hearing this, Fan Xian's eyes suddenly widened and he turned to look at her in shock.
dark place.
Li Roujia couldn't help but exclaim again.
"elopement!!!"
"Hi~"
Mei Chengan helped her cover her mouth and said anxiously in a low voice.
"Aunt, you're here again, right? Do you still want to listen?"
"Uh huh~"
Li Roujia nodded repeatedly.
Mei Cheng'an looked at her and narrowed his eyes.
"Remember you can speak quietly, but don't shout!"
"No no no."
Seeing her nod again, Mei Chengan let go of her hand.
Li Roujia's excitement was visibly evident.
"Elopement, this is elopement, I have only seen it in storybooks, but never in real life.
And, most importantly, it was my cousin who took the initiative to elope. Wow, my cousin is so brave and romantic."
Mei Cheng'an turned his head to look at his wife with stars in her eyes, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He shook his head helplessly and looked ahead again.
After staring at each other in silence for a moment, Lin Wan'er raised her foot and staggered over the ditch, walked to Fan Xian and stopped, and said in a crisp voice.
"I have saved some private money. If I use it sparingly, it will be enough for my lifetime. Well... I'm just afraid that the people from the Overwatch Council will come after me."
As she said the last sentence hesitantly, Lin Wan'er suddenly had another idea. Her eyes lit up and she suggested it with great interest.
"It's better than this."
At this time, Fan Xian, who was listening quietly at the side, gave her a puzzled and curious look.
Lin Wan'er smiled, grabbed his hand and ran a few steps to the side. The two of them walked slowly forward, speaking in crisp voices.
"We're going out to sea, on a big ship, setting sail, wherever we go, until no one can find us anymore!"
You told these two to just leave, but they went in the direction of Mei Chengan and his wife, which gave them a fright.
Seeing the two getting closer, Mei Cheng'an was ready to retreat with his wife, but Fan Xian grabbed Lin Wan'er in time.
Mei Cheng'an and Li Roujia, who were hiding in the dark and extremely nervous, looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. It was a close call!
Looking at Lin Wan'er, Fan Xian asked softly.
"You're sailing far away and you won't be able to come home. Aren't you afraid?"
Lin Wan'er said in a cute voice with curved eyebrows.
"With you here, I have nothing to fear. You will protect me."
"Wow, this is my cousin, she's really good at it."
This sentence was said by Li Roujia with starry eyes in the dark.
Then she was silenced by Mei Chengan.
Don't be too crazy about me when you're so close to me, my dear.
"Uh huh~"
Mei Chengan lip-synced in slow motion without any sound.
"Shh~ Just look at it and don't talk."
"Well!"
Fan Xian looked at the smiling Lin Wan'er for a long time with moving eyes, and suddenly took a step forward and kissed her lightly on the forehead.
"Well!"
Li Roujia, who witnessed this scene in the dark, widened her eyes, eyes full of surprise and excitement.
Mei Cheng'an glanced at his wife. Fortunately, he had the foresight to silence her. Otherwise, she would have been exposed if she had shouted.
Lin Wan'er was suddenly attacked and had no time to react. By the time she realized what was happening, the attack was over.
The smile quickly disappeared, replaced by a stunned expression. Lin Wan'er looked at Fan Xian in confusion.
After she came to her senses, her face instantly turned red and she looked around subconsciously, fearing that someone around might have seen what had just happened.
Mei Cheng'an and Li Roujia in the dark hurriedly lowered their heads. Although there was a high probability that they could not see them, they still couldn't help feeling guilty.
Fan Xian smiled embarrassedly and whispered.
"You're so cute, I couldn't help myself."
Hiss~ You plagiarized me, kid. I just said this hiss~
Mei Chengan looked at Li Roujia aggrievedly and asked her with his eyes.
"Why are you pinching me?"
“Mmmmm~”
The silenced Li Roujia blinked her big eyes and glanced at Fan Xian, then glanced at him again, and finally glared at him.
Mei Cheng'an touched his nose guiltily. It was unfair to Master Qingtang. They were indeed similar, but it was just a coincidence!
Stop making trouble, just watch the show.
After imitating the lip movements, Mei Chengan kissed his wife on the side of her cheek and turned to look at the front.
Hiss~ Come again, I can bear it!
After hearing what Fan Xian said, Lin Wan'er shyly avoided his gaze and dared not look at him, while stamping her feet and scolding him.
"I'm talking about business!"
Fan Xian looked at her with a smile, pursed his lips, slowly grabbed her hand and patted it gently, speaking softly.
"If you elope, so many people will laugh at you."
Lin Wan'er did not hesitate.
"I do not care!"
Fan Xian also did not hesitate.
"I care!"
Lin Wan'er looked at him gently and said nothing.
Fan Xian looked at her and spoke affectionately.
"Wait for me to come back, wait for me to come back from Northern Qi, and then we'll get married!"
