"Yu'er, do you want to follow Cheng Wang?" Mr. Pei asked directly, facing Pei Yu.
As for Gu Chengxuan, he was probably overconfident. Even when listening to Mr. Pei asking such an important question, he was calm and composed enough. He took a slow sip of tea and waited for his Xiao Yu'er to come to him.
But Pei Yu slowly knelt down in front of him.
Gu Chengxuan moved his fingers holding the tea cup slightly, lowered his head and looked at the person kneeling in front of him.
"My lord, Pei Yu can't be with you anymore." After Pei Yu finished speaking, she bit her lips for fear that she would cry.
After listening to Pei Yu's words, Mr. Pei finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then he became more confident. He looked at Gu Chengxuan and said, "Did the prince hear it? Yu'er is not willing."
Gu Chengxuan's eyes were like deep pools of water, very quiet and without any ripples. It was as if Pei Yu's words were neither painful nor unpleasant to him. He just listened and then stared at her lowered head. , asked calmly: "What else?"
He didn't ask Pei Yu why.
Maybe he thinks that since he is a prince, he cannot use a resentful tone to ask a little girl about why she didn't keep her promise, or why she gave up at this time...
Or maybe he felt that he shouldn't have had hope for a little girl in the first place.
But he understands that she is just a little girl. With her parents coaxing and teaching her, it is always easy to be coaxed into changing her mind, and then she knows what is right and what is wrong.
And he, Gu Chengxuan, might be the mistake that Pei Yu shouldn't mess with.
"I... I am not suitable for the prince." Pei Yu closed her eyes tightly and forced herself to speak out. "The prince will grow old before me one day. I... I don't have the courage to go to that point with the prince." At that time... I... was still young... "
This reason alone is enough.
After hearing this, Gu Chengxuan nodded calmly, "Get up."
Pei Yu hesitated, tried hard to control his emotions, managed to get up from the ground, raised his head and looked at him.
But there was no emotion in Gu Chengxuan's eyes. He was as calm as when he came. He just took another good look at Pei Yu and got up from the chair.
"Your Majesty..." Pei Yu raised her head and stared at him blankly. She wanted to say something to him, but she hesitated and did not dare to say anything.
But Gu Chengxuan smiled at her again, with a very mature and steady expression, and said calmly: "It's just that I didn't think carefully. I will not disturb Miss Pei again in the future."
When he was in front of Mr. Pei, he called her Yu'er confidently and calmly. He was mentally prepared to face all the scoldings of Mr. Pei. He listened to all the unpleasant words, so... he was just as good as Pei Yu. These two sentences.
Gu Chengxuan was also personable when he left. He didn't cause any trouble to anyone, didn't question a single word, and didn't show the slightest bit of badness.
He didn't even show the slightest disappointment in Pei Yu...
He just accepted the result and left.
Pei Yu kept holding on and holding on until Gu Chengxuan walked out of the house and finally couldn't help crying.
No matter how her parents tried to persuade her, she couldn't stop her tears from falling.
She couldn't say, she couldn't say anything.
However, Pei Yu really wanted to tell him...
Pei Yu once really... really thought about growing old with him.
She really thought about it.
