Chapter 296 Another purpose
Cui Rong raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, and secretly commented in her heart that it might be quite difficult to use these characteristics to describe Song Yanyi.
Recalling those ideals that she had longed for but were so far away, Song Xian'er recalled her elder brother's cold and ruthless eyes and shuddered. "But since something happened, I no longer dare to fantasize too much."
Suddenly, Song Xian'er seemed to be inspired and changed the subject, asking, "By the way, Cui Rongrong, do you have any specific criteria for your future spouse? Have you ever admired a specific person?"
Faced with the sudden and somewhat abrupt question, Cui Rong hesitated for a moment before slowly answering: "To be honest, I still haven't completely determined the image of my ideal partner in my mind."
"Has it not been your intention to imagine what your future husband will look like?"
The man behind him stopped breathing instantly when he heard these words, and his whole body became stiff as if petrified.
Cui Rong gently placed her palm on her chin and thought for a while before answering seriously: "I think no matter in the past or now, I hope to have the honor of meeting a sincere and kind man. They should have a warm and considerate heart and an elegant and calm appearance as the first condition."
After expressing these true feelings from the heart, the room fell into a brief silence.
At this moment, Song Xian'er suddenly said something shocking that shocked everyone: "Could it be that you really planned to marry Big Brother?"
As soon as these words came out, the air suddenly became solemn, especially the expression on the face of the person who was hiding not far away and eavesdropping became gloomy, his hands clenched into fists as if he was ready to rush in and question the truth at any time...
After a long while, Cui Rong finally managed a smile to ease the awkward atmosphere and said, "Let's put this matter aside for now. Anyway, I personally don't need to consider remarriage at the moment. It's more important for you to concentrate on planning your future direction!"
Song Xian'er muttered, "Who wants to become someone else's appendage?"
After some reluctant grumbling, he finally agreed to give up the argument.
Realizing that it was already very late and preparing to leave, Cui Rong carefully reminded her friend to keep the aforementioned valuable information safe.
"Remember to put your things away so that mother won't find them."
"I know, I know. Don't worry!"
The other party responded perfunctorily, then quickly packed up all the items and carefully stored them away.
"Then let's go."
The two left Qingshuiyuan together and set foot on the winding bluestone path, surrounded by the faint fragrance of flowers and the smell of moist soil.
As night falls, lights flicker in the distance, adding a warm glow to this quiet courtyard.
Song Xian'er waved her hand gently, said goodbye to Cui Rongrong, then turned around and returned to her residence. Her figure gradually blended into the quiet night.
Cui Rong walked slowly towards Songhe Garden alone, her heart filled with unspeakable emotions.
Before she reached the door, she saw a familiar figure. Cuizhu was leaning against the side of the door waiting for her return.
Seeing this, she hurried forward and whispered to Cui Rong: "Madam, the young master has arrived home."
These words were like a cool breeze on a summer afternoon, which made Cui Rong stop instantly. Her eyes inadvertently met the green bamboo, and she caught some subtle changes from it.
An ominous feeling came over me - had something happened to him again?
Could it be that yesterday's incident has not been resolved yet and the young master is still angry about it?
Faced with Cui Rong's puzzled and slightly anxious eyes, Cui Zhu shook her head helplessly to show that she didn't know, and could only whisper: "Young Master had a very serious expression when he returned from Qingshui Garden, and seemed to be in a very bad mood. I'm afraid there will be another quarrel tonight..." As she spoke, she cast an encouraging and blessing look at Cui Rong, hoping that she could safely survive the storm that might come next.
Feeling the silent support from her friend, Cui Rong smiled slightly in response, then took a deep breath and adjusted her mentality before pushing open the seemingly ordinary wooden door in front of her.
The candlelight in the room flickered, illuminating a familiar face. Song Yanyi was concentrating on preparing the layout on the chessboard. When he noticed someone coming in, he raised his head and looked at the person. His eyes, which were so dark that they could almost swallow all the light, were particularly eye-catching at this moment.
Almost at the same time, they asked, "Why are you back so late?"
The voice was calm and peaceful, but it made people feel uneasy.
Cui Rongrong, who had long been accustomed to such indifferent attitudes, did not react much, but simply replied: "I chatted with Xian'er for a while."
Although I tried hard to cater to his preferences and tried to find the best way to communicate with him, I found that there was always an unbridgeable distance between us.
Perhaps for some reason, Song Yanyi did not ask too much about the specific content of the conversation, "Then ask someone to bring the food up."
The sudden words made Cui Rong, who was already on edge, stunned for a moment. When she looked at the other person again, she found that his expression was still the same, with neither joy nor sadness visible.
Afterwards, with the busy work of several maids, a sumptuous dinner was quickly brought to the table and arranged neatly.
After they completed their tasks and quietly left, only the man and woman sitting opposite each other were left in the room.
The air seemed to become heavier than before, and the invisible pressure made it hard to breathe.
Despite this, Cui Rong still mustered up the courage to look at the man opposite her, only to find that he didn't seem to intend to start any argument - which made her even more alert: Could there be some other mystery hidden behind this calmness?
Just as Cui Rongrong was thinking secretly, she saw Song Yanyi put down the chess piece he had been playing with for a long time and slowly stood up and walked towards her. Only when they stood face to face did he speak again and asked, "How was your study today?"
The tone of voice was unusually calm, even a little gentle.
Such a change was really incredible. For a moment, she didn't know how to answer: "It's okay..." After thinking for a while, she added, "From today on, Xian'er will accompany me to study. It will always be much easier to have someone accompany me."
After hearing this, Song Yanyi nodded slightly in agreement, and further suggested: "If you feel tired, you can tell me at any time. Proper rest is also very important."
The sincerity of his tone made it difficult for her to tell whether it was genuine concern or some other purpose.
At this moment, the latter suddenly stretched out his hand, carefully selected a small and exquisite meatball from the plate and placed it in the bowl in front of Cui Rong.
"what?"
This sudden act of thoughtfulness was simply unbelievable. You know, the young master who usually wouldn't even glance at her actually took the initiative to pick up food for her!
