Chapter 268 The heartless man
Chapter 268 The heartless man
The night was as dark as ink, the moonlight was as bright as water, and the lights in Lu Zhiran's room flickered, illuminating her pale and stubborn face.
She stood quietly in front of the window, looking at the closed door, feeling mixed emotions.
Fu Yuzhang, for Zhang Xiangxiu, just abandoned her.
He is indeed a fickle and unfaithful person!
Zixiang finally waited for Lu Zhiran to come back, but looking at her lonely back, she couldn't help feeling indignant.
She walked to Lu Zhiran and comforted him softly, "Miss, don't be too sad. Zhang Xiangxiu is just a concubine. How can she compare to your status in this mansion?"
Lu Zhiran turned her head slightly, looked at Zixiang's eyes full of concern, and shook her head gently. There was a hint of fatigue and helplessness in her voice: "Zixiang, you don't understand."
What annoys her is that she knows all men are the same, yet she still falls in love with others.
At this moment, a dark shadow quietly appeared in the corner of the room.
It was Si Qi who was worried about Lu Zhiran.
He had been protecting Lu Zhiran in secret. Seeing Lu Zhiran so sad, he couldn't help but feel angry.
"Lu Zhiran, Fu Yuzhang is so heartless, why do you have to be sad for him?" Si Qi's voice was low and powerful, as if it could penetrate people's hearts.
Lu Zhiran was startled by the voice.
"Why are you here?"
Siqi felt a little depressed.
"I was worried about you, so I followed you."
So, is this why you sneak up on a married woman's room?
Lu Zhiran secretly complained in his heart.
However, this was not the first time, so Lu Zhiran just treated it as no big deal.
Lu Zhiran didn't care, but Si Qi didn't want to let it go.
Seeing Lu Zhiran secretly grieving for a man, he was very angry.
"Lu Zhiran, why do you have to do this?" Si Qi's voice was particularly clear in the night, and every word seemed to come from the bottom of his heart.
Lu Zhiran was slightly startled. She turned her head and looked at Si Qi, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
She opened her red lips slightly, her voice trembling a little: "Siqi, you don't understand."
Si Qi frowned, he walked a few steps closer, stood in front of Lu Zhiran, and looked directly into her eyes: "How could I not understand? You are doing this for Fu Yuzhang, the unfaithful man, right?"
Lu Zhiran lowered her head and did not answer. Her heart was filled with bitterness. Fu Yuzhang, the man who once made her heart beat, has now become an eternal pain in her heart.
"What's so good about him that makes you sacrifice so much for him?" Siqi's voice was full of confusion and anger.
Lu Zhiran raised his head, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: "He has nothing, but he is the one in my heart. Even if he betrayed me, I can't forget him."
Si Qi sighed and shook his head helplessly: "Lu Zhiran, you are so stupid. For Fu Yuzhang, you gave up all your dignity and pride. Is it worth it?"
Lu Zhiran was silent for a moment. She raised her head and looked at Si Qi, tears flashing in her eyes: "I don't know if it's worth it, but I only know that I can't control my heart. Whenever I think of him, my heart hurts so much that I can't breathe."
Si Qi looked at Lu Zhiran's painful appearance, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart. He reached out and gently held Lu Zhiran's hand: "Zhiran, don't be sad about Fu Yuzhang anymore. You deserve someone better."
Lu Zhiran:?
This is?
Lu Zhiran felt the warmth of Siqi's palm, and a strange feeling surged in his heart.
She looked at Siqi's affectionate eyes and couldn't help feeling a little shaken.
Siqi fell in love with her.
But she quickly shook her head and broke free from Siqi's hand: "Siqi, I know how good you are to me. But I can no longer accept anyone else."
A trace of disappointment flashed across Siqi's eyes, but he quickly adjusted his mood: "Zhi Ran, I will always be by your side and protect you. No matter what difficulties you encounter, I will be by your side."
Lu Zhiran looked at Si Qi's determined eyes, and a feeling of gratitude surged in her heart. She nodded and said softly, "Thank you, Si Qi."
As the night deepened, the two stood in the courtyard, silently looking into the distance. The moonlight shone on them, as if covering them with a layer of silver gauze. In this quiet night, the two hearts were slowly getting closer.
"Cough cough cough..."
Zixiang, who was standing by, reminded Lu Zhiran, "Miss, it's late at night, you should rest!"
In fact, it was mainly to remind Siqi that he should go back.
There was a hint of displeasure in Siqi's eyes.
But he still said to Lu Zhiran.
"It's late at night. I'm going back. If you need anything, ask the servant to call me."
Lu Zhiran nodded.
The moonlight is like a silk thread, gently falling into the exquisite boudoir. The room is filled with a faint fragrance, which makes people feel peaceful. The carved window lattice is half open, and the breeze brings the coolness of the night, quietly blowing in, gently swaying the light gauze in front of the window.
The person is gone completely.
Zixiang came to Lu Zhiran and reminded him softly, "Miss, it's late at night and the candle is about to burn out. You should rest." Her voice was like a spring breeze, gentle and considerate.
It was as if she wasn't the one who was aggressive just now.
Hearing Zixiang's reminder, Lu Zhiran raised his head slightly.
There was a hint of reluctance in his eyes.
She sighed softly, closed the window, and a wave of inexplicable thoughts surged in her heart.
She walked to the bed, gently blew out the candle on the table, then took off her coat and prepared to go to bed. Seeing this, Zixiang hurried forward to make the bed for her, then stepped aside and waited quietly.
As the night deepened, the moonlight poured into the room like water.
The moonlight was like a stream of silk, shining through the gauze-like window lattices and into every corner of the house. She stood by the bed, her plain dress looking particularly elegant under the moonlight. Her face was as gentle as jade, and there was a hint of melancholy between her brows, as if she was hiding many unknown thoughts.
She sighed softly, and her eyes swept around the room, finally settling on the extinguished candle on the table. The candle had been the only source of heat tonight, but now it had turned into silence. She thought of the warm times she had spent with someone, and the laughter and joy seemed to still echo in her ears, but now everything had changed.
Zixiang watched her quietly, her eyes full of concern. Although this young woman was young, she was thoughtful and considerate. She knew her master's concerns, but she never asked easily, but just accompanied her silently.
"Miss, it's late, you should go to bed early." Zixiang said softly, with a hint of tenderness in her voice.
She nodded without saying anything. She walked to the bed and sat down, and began to untie her hair. Her long hair fell down instantly, shining with a faint luster under the moonlight. Seeing this, Zixiang hurried forward to comb her long hair, and then changed her into a soft pajamas.
