Because it was getting late after all the hard work, Wen Zhigu had to say goodbye to Shu Nuan for the time being, and promised Qingzhi that he would bring Wen Jian over to play with her next time.
Qingzhi received the assurance, and then she nodded obediently and waved goodbye to Brother Xiao Jian.
After coming out of Shenghe Palace, Wen Zhigu and Ji Xubai didn't speak to each other on the way away in a carriage. Wen Zhigu kept holding Wen Jian and whispering questions. Fortunately, Wen Jian didn't bump into him. where.
After arriving at the place where she lived, Wen Zhiyu hugged Wen Jian and got out of the carriage. Ji Xubai took the luggage and helped her open the door and take it in. He helped her boil water and pour tea. He was familiar with the whole yard, as if he was already familiar with her. Couple for many years...
However, after doing this, Ji Xubai looked at Wen Zhigu calmly, and said slowly and calmly: "Zhigu, I'm leaving. Don't worry, I didn't lie to you this time, and I won't appear in front of you again. In front of you, I’m disturbing you and Xiao Jian.”
After Ji Xubai finished speaking, he looked at her deeply for a while, then looked down at Wen Jian, who was sitting silently at the table with her head hanging down, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Jian, take good care of her in the future. Your mother, don’t forget, you told your father that you are the one who wants to protect your mother.”
Wen Jian still lowered her head and didn't look at him, but this time, she nodded gently and tried to hold back the tears in her eyes.
After Ji Xubai finished speaking, he smiled faintly and then said goodbye, "I know I'm leaving."
He turned around and walked out without looking back.
His face was as calm as water, but for just a moment, it seemed as if something was ruthlessly tearing at his heart, so painful that it became difficult to breathe.
He said he would come back to see Wen Zhigu.
Then, once again, I had to leave her.
He thought he could make it up to him, but in the end, what he brought to her was nothing but harm.
However, the moment Ji Xubai walked out of the yard, Wen Zhigu calmly called him: "Stop."
Wen Zhigu lowered her eyes and was silent for a long time. She finally calmed down and stopped talking to him in the same cold tone as before. She said in an unhurried voice: "I have something to tell you."
Ji Xubai paused slightly, probably because he didn't expect Wen Zhigu to be willing to take the initiative to talk to him. After being stunned for a while, he quickly walked back to the house and asked, "Zhigu, what's wrong?"
Wen Zhigu took a slow breath, adjusted his breathing, took out a wedding invitation, looked up at him, handed it to him, and said softly: "Shu Nuan will get married the next day, you go with me and Xiao Jian, I don’t want others to see that little Jane doesn’t have a father by her side.”
Ji Xubai was stunned.
For a moment, he didn't know how to describe his mood at this moment.
Was it excitement, shock, or something more? It was his indescribable joy.
Although Wen Zhigu's eyes were as indifferent as ever, she said she wanted him to accompany her, and the family of three went to Shenghe Palace to attend the wedding banquet...
Ji Xubai was probably stunned for a moment before he remembered to take the wedding invitation from her.
But when he reached out to pick it up, his fingertips accidentally touched her warm fingers. The coldness in Wen Zhigu's eyes was shattered by Jingzhe for a moment. Wen Zhigu subconsciously took back his hand and turned away, and stopped going. Looking at him, he said in a calm tone: "You can go."
Ji Xubai held the wedding invitation in his hand, looked at Wen Zhigu and asked carefully and softly: "Zhigu, can I come to pick you up and Xiao Jian then?"
