Chapter 185: No Meeting, No Success
Ning Sangyu, who was talking to Yue Xiangli, turned around and urged him with his eyes.
"Friends abroad said that Brother Kuang Heng is on his way back to China. He should be arriving some time ago, but we don't know his route." Ji Huaimin put the paper bag of chestnuts in his hand on the table next to Ning Sangyu.
"He should be going back to Qushan Province. I have already written to my friends in Qushan Province asking them to pay more attention to him."
Yue Xiangli used the thin wooden stick beside him to pick up the lamp cotton. "The Kuang Heng brother you are talking about is Gu Kuang Heng?"
Wanjiezhu: I just want to see you pretending.
Ning Sangyu looked at him, "You know?"
Yue nodded to Li Wei, "Yes, Shen Dingwei, whom you met yesterday, knows him."
"I asked Shen Dingwei if there were any overseas students who had achievements in firearms research. He recommended Gu Kuangheng to me and said that Gu Kuangheng would arrive at the Yuanjiang River on March 27th."
"I am going to send someone to hire him to come to my place."
"Three days ago, I went to Qingxi Province and met my old friend Song Chengwei. He said he knew Gu Kuangheng well, and they were good friends. He told me about Gu Kuangheng's route back home."
"Song Chengwei is already in Zhencheng. He said he wanted to work with Gu Kuangheng, and he wrote a letter for me to take to Gu Kuangheng, saying that he would definitely follow my people after reading the letter."
"I have sent people to wait at the previous dock where Gu Kuangheng got off the ship. If nothing unexpected happens, they will bring him to Zhencheng in a few days."
Ning Sangyu opened her mouth. Fate is so intricate. She turned to look at Ji Huaimin and said, "Brother, you don't have to ask your friends."
Ji Huaimin went to get an umbrella. "I'm going to go out for a while. The letter probably hasn't been sent yet. I'll go get it."
"Yueyue Shuai, please stay and have dinner with us tonight."
Yue pointed to the bag of chestnuts and asked, "Do you want some?"
Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise.
"want."
Upon hearing this, Yue Xiangli took out the chestnuts from the bag, peeled them for her and put them in the bowl.
Fang Chiheng watched his movements, his eyes moving, "I heard Yue Shuai is 24 years old this year, did you have a family before?"
Yue Xiangli pushed the peeled chestnuts towards Ning Sangyu and met her gaze with smiling eyes, "No."
"My father was a revolutionary, and he was killed in 1910. My family was sent away by his comrades and we changed our names. Later, when the old dynasty fell, we were able to restore our real names."
"When I was fourteen, my uncle took me to the military camp. That was also the year when the interim government was established and the old emperor issued an edict of abdication, and the old dynasty fell."
"After another turmoil, I seized power from the Lin clique in 2016. Since then, I have been committed to maintaining stability in the army, stability in the jurisdiction, and preventing other warlords from seizing power."
"If you don't meet your match, you won't be able to start a family." Yue Xiangli smiled at her and said, "I never thought about starting a family before, but now I do."
Ning Sangyu turned her eyes away, lowered her head, took the peeled chestnut and put it into her mouth, her ears slightly red.
Fang Chiheng: If I had known, I wouldn’t have asked. Now I’ve given him another opportunity to be the big shot.
Yue Xiangli lowered his eyes and poured her some water. "Chestnuts make your mouth dry. Drink some water."
He continued, "There isn't much left at home now, except for a younger brother who is about the same age as Sangsang and an old housekeeper."
After peeling seven or eight, Yue Xiangli stopped and asked, "Do you want more?"
"No." She looked up.
The ordered dinner arrived and Fang Chiheng got up to get it.
Yue Xiangli went to wash his hands.
Ning Sangyu glanced at his back, her thoughts drifting away.
Her gaze was obvious. She turned back to Li and leaned down to look at her level. She asked with a smile, "What are you looking at?"
"Look at you."
"Sangsang understands, right?" He was stunned for a moment, his mind desperately wanting to see the light of day.
Those slow-paced thoughts were completely disrupted by her look and a simple "look at you".
Unable to avoid it, Ning Sangyu looked into his eyes and held her breath for a moment, "I understand."
"What does Sangsang mean?"
"Are you serious?"
"I couldn't be more serious. I will never do anything false to Li. Sangsang is the only person I admire in my life. I want to marry you and go to Chunzhou with you."
Ning Sangyu stretched out her left hand towards him, a smile spreading across the corners of her lips, "Then I'll reluctantly agree to your request."
The sound of rain was particularly loud, but the sound of my heartbeat refused to be inferior to the rain.
"Thank you for your reluctance, Sangsang." Yue Xiangli held her hand, the skin in his palm was soft and delicate, he smiled and said: "Sangsang, if you agree, there will be no room for regret."
Once you hold it, you won't let go.
"Ah."
Yue Xiangli stood up straight and touched her head, "Sangsang."
"Ok?"
"Call you."
"Oh."
Fang Chiheng, who had just brought in the food delivery guy, looked at the scene in front of him: ...
What happened? How did they get involved?
Ning Sangyu saw him come in and embarrassedly broke free.
"Brother Chiheng."
Fang Chiheng responded and took the shop assistants to take the vegetables out of the vegetable cages.
Seeing Fang Chiheng leave, Yue Xiangli touched her cheek with the back of his hand, "It's a little hot, Sangsang, why are you so thin-skinned?"
"You're cheeky."
"Yeah, I'm thick-skinned."
Ning Sangyu glared at him, but there was nothing she could do to him.
Yue Xiangli stopped teasing her, pulled a chair over and sat next to her, looking at her gently, "Want to go out and play the day after tomorrow?"
"Where to play?"
"Photo studio, want to take a picture with you."
"Okay." Ning Sangyu blinked and put her hand over his eyes, "Don't look at me like that."
It's a bit unbearable, my heart is beating very fast.
His eyes went dark, and the warmth and touch of her palm covered his eyes. Yue Xiangli blinked, "Why?"
The palm of her hand itched slightly, and the itching spread along her skin to the tip of her heart. Ning Sangyu retracted her hand in response and said fiercely, "No reason, I just don't allow it."
Looking at her shy appearance pretending to be fierce, he chuckled, "Sangsang is really domineering, don't I think my future wife is not good enough?"
Ning Sangyu turned her head away. She didn't expect that he was such a person with such a sharp tongue.
Yue Xiangli reached out to smooth her hair and coaxed her, "Sangsang, this is the look you give to someone you like, don't be shy."
Ning Sangyu turned her head and saw that he had a gentle look and a smiling look in his eyes.
She finally understood why Li Bai, in his poem praising Li Yang, believed that "often having the king look at you with a smile" was the happiest moment in love.
When he looked at her with a smile, he felt as if she was everything to him.
"Oh."
Yue Xiangli pinched her face and said, "Sangsang, how can you be so serious and yet perfunctory at the same time?"
She looked at him seriously, but only responded with an "Oh" which couldn't be simpler.
Ji Huaimin came back from outside and felt that the atmosphere between them had changed. He coughed and said, "Sangsang."
"Brother, you are back."
Ji Huaimin glanced at Yue Xiangli, "Well, are you hungry? Let's go eat."
"it is good."
Yue Xiangli helped her up.
Ji Huaimin glanced at them and went to find Fang Chiheng.
He wasn't watching for a while, and they were already together.
"How about I pick you up at nine the day after tomorrow morning?"
"Don't you have military service?"
"Two lieutenants can handle it. There's nothing serious going on right now. I can take a couple of days off to relax."
Ning Sangyu nodded.
"Want to go to the Marshal's Mansion to play?"
