Over the years, he has had little contact with his younger brother. There is no intersection between the two parties, so naturally there is no hatred.
He didn't expect that the first time Ye Zexi took the initiative to talk to him in such a long time would actually be a trap for him.
Knowing the truth, he wanted to give Zhiqing an explanation, but she was no longer willing to see him. On the contrary, she said she wanted to marry Zexi.
He was in pain and wanted to see Zhiqing again, but she was not even willing to give him a chance.
"Zhiqing, can you listen to my explanation?"
Ling Yunting hugged her, worried that she was as unwilling to listen to his explanation as before, or even to see him.
"It's all a misunderstanding."
Mu Zhiqing frowned slightly and looked up at him in confusion, "What's the misunderstanding?"
"I like you."
However, as soon as she raised her head, she heard the man's confession, and her heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate.
Every time she saw him and heard him say such words, her heartbeat could not help but speed up. No one could resist this man's words of love.
"You clearly rejected the engagement at the beginning..." Mu Zhiqing said.
"I didn't know that my fiancée was you." Ling Yunting quickly explained, "I rejected the engagement because the person I wanted to marry was you."
Mu Zhiqing was stunned and looked at him doubtfully, unable to recover for a moment.
Everything that happened before flashed through her mind. Was it such a misunderstanding
"how could be?"
A complicated look flashed in Ling Yunting's eyes, revealing annoyance and regret.
"When you lived in the courtyard next to mine, I never knew your true identity. It wasn't until I wanted to find out later that someone told me that you were Zexi's fiancée, so Dad arranged for you to live in the courtyard next to him. .”
Mu Zhiqing's eyes widened, "Is there such a thing?"
Looking at the man in front of her, she understood that Yun Ting would not lie about this kind of thing. Thinking about what Ze Xi said to her before, the answer seemed to be obvious.
The courtyard where she lived happened to be between the courtyards of Yunting and Zexi, and not many people in the northwest region knew about her appearance at that time.
Yun Ting often goes to the battlefield, and she and Ye Zexi spend a lot of time together. Maybe some people really think so...
"So, you liked me from the beginning?"
Mu Zhiqing pointed at herself, with surprise on her face.
"You are the only girl I, Ling Yunting, like."
Ling Yunting looked at him seriously. Over the years, what he regretted most was that he didn't directly express his feelings to Zhiqing, so that in the end he didn't even have the chance to express himself.
Mu Zhiqing didn't know what to say at this moment. She never thought that the truth of the matter would be like this.
So... it was a huge misunderstanding from beginning to end
Perhaps when Yun Ting asked about this news, the other party deliberately said such words to misunderstand him.
One wrong step and one wrong step after another will lead to this result in the end.
"Zhiqing, it was all my fault before, can you forgive me?"
The man's dark and deep eyes were no longer as sharp as before, showing a bit of vulnerability and pleading.
He doesn't care about everything around him, except her.
Mu Zhiqing's eyes turned red almost instantly. How sad all that made her feel at the beginning, now she feels how ridiculous it is when she understands it.
The truth turned out to be this, and she still resented him for so long...
"will you marry me?"
