“Driftingoff again It looks like you are defying me on purpose!”<o:p></o:p>
“I was not–” He opened his hed, and although it was gone in a flash, he was captivated by it<o:p></o:p>
“Do not saythings like ‘sorry I cannot tell you the truth’, although I do not liketrickery…” She sighed “Whatever the case, you need only know one thing: I willnot blah you refuse to tell me the truth…”<o:p></o:p>
Li Min De’spupils narrowed, and a flash of gratitude appeared in the depths of his eyes,only to be replaced by sorrow<o:p></o:p>
Li Weiyangsaw the changes in his expression clearly, and involuntarily, a surge ofheartache welled up in her She also felt a sense of distance, which rowing up? It was gettingharder and harder to understand his feelings now<o:p></o:p>
However, atthe next moment, Li Min De suddenly laid his head on her shoulders<o:p></o:p>
“What’s the wondered, surprised<o:p></o:p>
Li Min Dedid not reply her, and continued to rest on her shoulders His eyes weresht of the fact that he wouldhave to leave her in the end, his heart felt twisted up in pain<o:p></o:p>
“You saidthat you’ve grown up, you’ll definitely have your own secrets You should behappy that I did not probe, because it pulled him up and stuffed the chopsticks back into his hands, and personallyfed him a slice of sweet and sour fish: “Eat”<o:p></o:p>

As she lookedat the thin ribbons of rain falling to the ground outside the , LiWeiyang thought of Tuoba Zhen’s furious state She couldn’t help but laugh, anddowned her wine in one gulp<o:p></o:p>
Li Min Depaused and turned to look at her<o:p></o:p>
“Sanjie?” Hehad never seen her drink, let alone with such a strange expression at thistipaused and recovered her senses “I won’t get drunk, don’t worry It’s just asmall cup” she smiled and said<o:p></o:p>

He took hercup fro, shegrabbed his cup and drank it dry <o:p></o:p>
“Sanjie?!”<o:p></o:p>
“H her clear face Under thecandle lights in the carriage, her eyes were like smoke, clear and understated,and her expression had a hint of iy,Mr Caretaker!”<o:p></o:p>
Li Min De loweredhis head, embarrassed He saw that she still held the wine cup in her slih filled with a tipsiness like crushed jade,releaned back in her seat as if drunk, resting slightly on him<o:p></o:p>
The richfloral smell of osmanthus, corance that permeated from his nose, to his limbs, and to the bottomof his heart<o:p></o:p>
He suddenlywanted this moment to last forever, but a voice resonated in his head,rereedy, not to sink into this war her down, and even cause her iers This is not aplace where you should remain, and you will never be able to pay the price ifyou lose her completely<o:p></o:p>
