To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 317 Not as good as first meeting

   After all, she couldn't compete with Hongdou for a while, and Kouer easily suppressed the little maids in other courtyards.

  Luo Sheng was playing with a pear in his hand, listening with a blank expression.

  Kuer finished talking, admiring and surprised at the same time: "Girl, how did you expect Mr. Tao to find Mrs. Eldest?"

  Luo Sheng smiled: "It's just more precautions. Keep watching. If the eldest girl goes out, ask Shi Yi to follow and send me a message in time."

  Kore took orders and left.

  Luo Sheng brought the pear to his lips and took a bite.

  If Mr. Tao met Luo Ying just to confess this unsustainable fate, then she should pretend that she didn't know.

  If Mr. Tao said something that made Luo Ying's bad mood worse, then don't blame her for being rude.

  In the colorful garden, Luo Ying was caught in a tangle, and from time to time she took out the letter she had put in her sleeve to take a look.

   Reason told her that the two had divorced and became completely unrelated strangers, so naturally they shouldn't meet.

  She always thought she was reasonable, but at this moment, she found that her self-righteous reason was vulnerable.

   There are many inappropriate things to go to meet, but if you don't go to meet, it will definitely become a knot that can't be solved for a lifetime.

  She would spend countless long nights guessing what he was going to say to her.

  Luo Ying looked at the letter again, folded the letter paper and put it in her arms, making a decision.

   Let's see each other for the last time, and we will be different from now on.

  Luo Ying packed up, and quietly left the mansion through the back door of the Metropolitan Government's Mansion with Lue.

   The two met in a teahouse.

  Luo Ying just left on the front foot, and Luo Sheng followed on the back foot.

   "Did a girl wearing a veiled hat come in just now?" As soon as he entered the teahouse, Luo Sheng asked the waiter who came up to welcome him.

  The waiter at the store heard that this seemed to be finding fault. Just as he was about to deny a piece of gold, it rolled into the palm of his hand.

  The store waiter's eyes were straightened, and his lips trembled uncontrollably.

  Gold, gold!

   You read that right, it's really gold!

"Do you have?"

  The shop waiter nodded sharply: "Yes, yes!"

   For the sake of gold, you have to have it if you don’t have it.

   "Which elegant room did she enter?"

   "Lan character room."

   "Which room is next to the Lan character room?"

  The waiter in the shop quickly replied: "The room with the chrysanthemum character."

  Hearing the word "chrysanthemum", Luo Sheng suddenly remembered the big bouquet of chrysanthemums that someone gave him.

   Distracted for a moment, Luo Sheng said lightly: "Lead me to the chrysanthemum room."

  The clerk in the shop showed embarrassment: "The Juzi room has customers now."

  A heavier ingot of gold fell into the second hand of the shop: "Please make room for them, this is compensation for buying wine."

  The waiter in the shop held the gold tightly, wanting to shout: It’s not so much!

   I just came here to drink tea, where to drink?

   "Be quick, don't make too much noise."

  Following Luo Sheng's reminder, the waiter suddenly became sober.

   It's not his gold, why is he so distressed.

   Soon the chrysanthemum room was vacated.

  Perhaps money can make ghosts turn millstones. The tea guest who got the gold and changed the room didn't even make a sound, lest the God of Wealth would be dissatisfied and take the gold back.

  Luo Sheng sat down and told Kerr: "Go outside and watch quietly, watching the movement next door."

  Keer raised her lips and smiled: "Girl, going out is not as convenient as staying inside."

As she spoke, she picked up an empty teacup, put it upside down on the wall separating the Lanzi room, pointed to the bottom of the cup and said: "Put your ears here and listen, and you can hear the people next door talking. The walls of this kind of ordinary teahouses are all thin." .”

  Luo Sheng was silent for a moment.

  She really didn't know that Kerr was such a talent.

  In the elegant room next door, Luo Ying and Mr. Tao were sitting opposite each other, looking at each other silently.

  Green calyx stands in an inconspicuous corner, trying to reduce the sense of presence.

  As for Mr. Tao, he didn't bring a servant with him today.

   After an unknown amount of time, Mr. Tao stared at Luo Ying and said, "Ah Ying—"

  Luo Ying drooped her eyes, and her voice trembled slightly: "We have retired, Mr. Tao should call me Miss Luo."

   "A Ying, do you really want to have such a relationship with me?" Mr. Tao saw that Luo Ying was so indifferent, he couldn't help but grabbed her hand.

  Luo Ying pulled out her hand vigorously: "Young Master Tao, we are indeed just strangers now. You asked me out in your letter, saying that you have something to say, but I don't know what to say?"

  She held hands with him once, when they were enjoying lanterns together on the Lantern Festival.

  The covenant with the white head was also what he told her at that time.

  This hand was still as warm as in memory, but she couldn't hold it back anymore.

   "A Ying—"

  Luo Ying got up: "Call me Miss Luo, or I will leave."

  Master Tao showed pain on his face, and finally compromised, calling out Miss Luo in frustration.

  Luo Ying sat down silently, feeling as uncomfortable as a pinprick in her heart.

  From Ah Ying to Miss Luo, she will only suffer more than him.

   "I... just found out about the divorce. Are you okay?"

  Luo Ying held her lips: "That's it."

   Being divorced, can you still be happy?

  She would sit here and couldn't help despising herself.

   "Big girl, you should know my heart."

  Luo Ying smiled wryly: "Young Master Tao, we have retired from our marriage, so there is no need to say these words."

   "No, I want to say it!" Mr. Tao raised his voice, showing a little excitement.

  Luo Ying looked at him quietly.

   "Big girl, you wait for me, I won't abandon you!"

  Luo Ying's heart warmed slightly after hearing this.

  Hearing what he said, it wouldn't be in vain for her to come out and meet again.

  It's a pity that no matter how much Mr. Tao has feelings for her, he can't change the result of retiring.

   It's hard to get over the water, it will only make her think of him for the rest of her life, with regrets in her heart.

   "I am very grateful for Mr. Tao's kindness. Don't mention such things as asking me to wait for you. It is impossible to get married again. Mr. Tao is obsessed with making things difficult for me."

   "I won't make it difficult. Anyway, no matter what happens, you have to wait for me. I won't let you down."

  Luo Ying felt something was wrong, frowned and asked, "Mr. Tao, can you make your words clearer, I don't quite understand what you mean."

   "I know the troubles in the Luo family. If... if there is a difficult day, I will not sit by and watch you suffer. Girl, don't be discouraged, no matter how difficult it is, I will be there."

  Luo Ying frowned more and more, vaguely thinking of a possibility, but couldn't believe it.

  She raised her hand to straighten her hair, and asked clearly: "Now that Ling Ci has come to withdraw from the marriage, if that day really comes, how will Mr. Tao plan to treat me?"

   "I will take you by my side, no matter what the world says, I will not abandon you, so you must wait for me."

  Luo Ying trembled her eyelids, she felt that she understood, but she didn't seem to understand.

  She let out a soft oh, and stared into the eyes of the man opposite: "Does Mr. Tao want me to be your concubine?"

  Next door, Kerr almost couldn't hold the teacup steady, her pretty face was full of anger.

  Luo Sheng couldn't help asking: "What did you say?"

   Ko'er still had her ears close together, and said angrily, "Master Tao wants the eldest girl to be his concubine!"

  I fell down a few stairs yesterday, and today I can hardly sit still. Fortunately, I didn’t hurt my hand, and I can still write on my phone while lying down. Want to cry.
