Su Qing was in a particularly good mood and walked back to Qingyuan leisurely.
Ah Li saw that he was getting more and more arrogant, "What benefits have I given you? Or has the investigation yielded results?"
Su Qing looked at her with a smile, "What else are you investigating? I won't investigate trivial matters."
"What do you mean? What benefits has he given you?" A Li glanced at him.
"Of course it's a great benefit. If you can bribe me, Su Qing, what else in the world can you do?" After Su Qing sat down, he put his face up, rested his chin on his hand and stared at A Li.
His face was so close that A Li could see the fine pores on his face and himself reflected in his eyes.
His breath sprayed on his face, with a warm touch. The two of them had never been so close before.
His heart suddenly jumped, and A Li turned his head sharply, "Who knows what you are dealing with."
After saying that, he got up and left.
Su Qing stood up to stop her, stretched out his long arms, and forced her to take two steps back. A Li was a little panicked, "What do you want to do?"
Su Qing suppressed her playful expression, and there was a touch of tenderness in her eyes, "Do you want to know why I decided to marry you after only seeing you once?"
A Li lowered his head, feeling uncomfortable all over, "Only the devil knows."
"Remember what you were doing when I came to the mansion?" Su Qing asked.
Ah Li moved back subconsciously, and Su Qing came forward again. The distance between the two was so close that he could almost hear each other's heartbeat.
"I... I don't remember." When they came, wasn't it Liang Zhiyuan who asked them to come out to meet him
"Think about it, think hard."
Su Qing's voice was full of bewitching magic, which made a cold-hearted and cruel woman like A Li feel shocked for a moment.
Her mind was so messed up that she couldn't remember what had happened.
At that time, they probably only met once, nothing special, but a few days later, they met people from the Hou Mansion to propose marriage.
I really don't know if he is crazy.
"I can't remember!" A Li calmed down for a moment, regained his composure, and said, "You want to talk or not."
Su Qing stared at her, "At that time, you and your sister came in to see each other. When you saluted, you behaved rudely and didn't even make a proper salute."
A Li was stunned, "Then you're still interested in it?"
"I didn't like her, and I didn't know how much I disliked her. Even my old man later said, why is the legitimate daughter of the Liang family worse than a concubine?"
A Li was surprised, "If that's the case, why do you still come to propose marriage?"
Su Qing sighed softly, "I had just started discussing marriage at that time, and the threshold of my family was almost broken by those who wanted to marry me. The old man said, get married first, then start a career, so my marriage must be arranged. Do you think I went there at that time? Is Qianzhou just for fun? It’s just that my grandfather said that there are several famous families in Qianzhou, and these families are also interested in marrying my Su family. My grandfather was eager, so he brought me here. I couldn’t bear the trouble, so I casually said that it was okay to get married. , I have taken a liking to you, the person he says he doesn’t like.”
A Li was dumbfounded, "Am I to be the shield for co-writing?"
"No, it was just said casually at the time. It was just a push-over. Later, my grandfather thought about it. Two of my brothers married famous ladies. If I really liked him, he would be happy to do it. I was young and energetic at the time. , I can’t take back what I said, this marriage was decided in such a muddle.”
"That is to say, you don't want to get married at all. People say that you haven't married because of the death of your fiancée. Your love is as deep as the sea. To put it bluntly, you are just using this as an excuse."
"Yes, when they knew you were dead, your father and the Han family actually wanted to use your sister to make up for the loss. How could I want to? They said they would marry me only if you were the one to get away."
A Li rolled his eyes, "Then why do you want to marry me now? Or is your old man forcing marriage again?"
Since the relationship five years ago was fake, why should he be like this now
"For five years, we have been forced to marry."
A Li raised his suspicious eyes and said, "Just explain it more clearly."
Su Qing's eyes were blurry, as if they were dyed with mist, "I have a bad impression of Liang Ruoli, but I have a good impression of Clever. After being recalled to Beijing from the Night King, I saw you commanding the Suyue Tower spies, calm down Ruosu, calm and capable, from that moment on, I was determined to marry you, and then I followed the Night King to find out your origins, and pursued step by step, only to find out that you might be Liang Ruoli, who died in the cabin fire that day. "
He said it tactfully, but in fact, it should be expressed as love at first sight.
He didn't fall in love with Liang Ruoli at the beginning. Even though everyone thought that he was keeping his fiancée's moral integrity and not marrying, he really had no memory of Liang Ruoli.
What he wants to marry is wisdom.
Ah Li had unspeakable feelings and touches in her heart. She had always believed that Su Qing was going to marry Liang Ruoli, the legitimate daughter of the Liang family.
She was silent for a moment, "If you had seen my appearance, I'm afraid you wouldn't say such words."
"Then are you willing to let me meet you?" Su Qing stretched out his hand to touch her cheek, but she swatted it away like a ghost.
"You don't want to see her." A Li said coldly, "Even I feel shuddering sometimes when I look at my own face."
"If you don't want me to meet you, I won't. I just want to marry you, no matter what you look like." Su Qing said.
A Li stood numbly, looking at him.
Su Qing sighed softly, "I know you don't want to marry me, but I will do whatever it takes just to marry you and be my wife."
A Li's voice was filled with pain, "Su Qing, why bother? You deserve better."
"Maybe." Su Qing sat down and gently stroked the mahogany tabletop with her long sleeve fingers, her expression far away, "It's just that no matter how good he is, he's not the person in my heart."
A Li looked at him blankly, and after a moment, she said: "Okay, if you see my true face and are not scared to run out, I will marry you."
After saying that, she slowly put her hand to her ear and swiped it, and the mask was torn off.
Su Qing held her breath and looked at her steadily.
It was a face with scars crisscrossing it. The nose was pretty, but it could be seen with the naked eye that it was fake. It was not the same color as the surrounding skin. There was almost no good spot on the cheek, and it was all covered with scars. One of the ears was missing. , which means that her fake face will have to be redone as well as her ears.
At first glance, it looked really scary, almost beyond recognition.
A Li lowered his eyes, but his eyelashes trembled slightly. It was very embarrassing to tear off the mask and expose his ugliness in front of others, even if it was not the first time.
Su Qing stared for a long time until she saw A Li's eyelashes were moistened. He stood up, stretched out his arms and hugged her, and said with vague pain in his voice, "I am only angry, why was I not by your side at the beginning."
A Li's stiff and cold body suddenly relaxed, and a wave of water swept her over. She felt that her whole body was covered with moist mist, which actually made her cry uncontrollably.
