Chapter 293 Two People Under the Moonlight

Because Shen Xia said that Gu Zizhan couldn't drink too much, Zheng Jinshu didn't continue drinking.

After all, he also knew that Gu Zizhan was injured.

So, the two of them started chatting, and Shen Xia prepared to go back to her room to rest.

Zheng Jinshu ordered his men to lead Shen Xia to the backyard.

Watching Shen Xia leaving, Zheng Jinshu turned to look at Gu Zizhan and said softly, "Can't you let it go?"

Gu Zizhan was still staring at the direction where Shen Xia left, but the figure had already disappeared.

Hearing Zheng Jinshu's words, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and he murmured to himself: "How to put it..."

Just three words, yet they contain endless helplessness and pain.

Zheng Jinshu sighed deeply. He understood the confusion and reluctance in Gu Zizhan's heart.

"But she's already married." Zheng Jinshu looked at his brother with complicated eyes, his heart full of regret.

Sometimes life is so cruel and fair that it is impossible to refute.

When he was in the capital, so many noble ladies fell in love with Gu Zizhan, but he remained unmoved.

Now, they finally met the person they truly loved, and they both loved each other, but fate had made it impossible for them to be together.

Judging from the current situation, it is unknown when Gu Zizhan will be able to truly let go of this relationship.

After all, Shen Xia is already married and has children, so why should she still be obsessed with the past?

Shen Xia returned to her room, washed up, and prepared to go to bed.

Then there was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

"I."

It sounded like Gu Zizhan's voice.

Shen Xia frowned and walked to the door, but did not open it.

"It's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

"I drank too much and can't sleep. The moonlight is beautiful tonight, come out and have some tea." Gu Zizhan said, looking at the locked door.

"No, I want to sleep."

"Either you come out or I come in." Gu Zizhan said forcefully.

Shen Xia choked, wondering how much she had drunk.

You speak so harshly.

It's better to go out than stay in the room.

So Shen Xia opened the door.

She saw Gu Zizhan had an annoying smirk on his face.

"If I don't say this, you won't open the door, right?" Gu Zizhan asked with a smile.

"If I don't open the door, will you really break in?" Shen Xia asked back.

"Yeah." Gu Zizhan answered affirmatively.

"How are you going to get in?" Shen Xia asked curiously, wondering if he was going to kick down her door.

"Climb through the window." Gu Zizhan answered without hesitation.

"Is this something a human would do?" Shen Xia said in surprise.

"In front of you, it doesn't matter whether they are human or not." Gu Zizhan deliberately teased.

Gu Zizhan stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation.

Shen Xia saw two comfortable lounge chairs in the yard, with a pot of fruit tea and two cups in the middle.

She looked up at the sky and found that the moon was not yet full moon, not very round, and there was a small gap in it.

Shen Xia walked straight to one of the lounge chairs and sat down, quietly enjoying the peaceful night and admiring the bright moon in the sky.

It actually feels very nice to watch the moon in this quiet atmosphere.

However, what exactly does it mean to watch the moon with your ex-boyfriend?

Gu Zizhan watched Shen Xia lie down naturally.

The corners of my mouth unconsciously rise.

I don’t know when we will meet next time.

He walked over and lay down.

It was quiet for a while.

Gu Zizhan spoke first: "Xia Xia——"

"Ah."

“Sometimes I really hope you’re not doing well.”

Shen Xia listened to Gu Zizhan's words, but did not speak.

He continued, "With your personality, you won't give in if things aren't going well. So do I have another chance?"

"Then I thought, no, because the problems between us are really insurmountable, so even if life is not going well, it seems that I have no chance." Gu Zizhan's voice became deeper and deeper as he spoke.

"So I thought you must be happy, and it would be nice to see you happy."

Shen Xia turned her head and looked at Gu Zizhan's face: "Ah Zhan, let it go! The past is the past, and you will definitely have a lover who belongs to you completely in the future."

Gu Zizhan shook his head: "No."

Except you, no one else in this world is worthy of my attention.

Shen Xia listened to Gu Zizhan's answer and didn't know how to respond, but she felt that it was useless to say anything now. After a long time, she would naturally let it go.

Just like when she was heartbroken, that kind of despair now seems nothing special.

After a long time, Gu Zizhan murmured, "Xia Xia, can you listen to me when I was a child?"

"Okay, you talk and I'm listening." Shen Xia said gently.

"My eldest sister, you know me! I also have a second brother,"

"Ah."

"He is two years older than me. We studied together since we were young. I don't know if it's because my second brother is a little dull, but my mother has always liked me and not my second brother."

"In fact, they are all her biological children. I don't know why she is so partial to them. I have always felt that my second brother was wronged. It was okay when he was young, but when he grew up, as the eldest son, it was natural for him to inherit the position of the crown prince. But she just wouldn't let my father write a petition for my second brother to inherit the position of the crown prince."

"She said that I should inherit the position of the Crown Prince, but that originally belonged to my second brother. How could I take that away from him? She said that my second brother's talent was mediocre, but it was precisely because of his mediocre talent that he should inherit the position of the Crown Prince. And I can fight for my own future."

"Her preference is actually very suffocating. I have never liked anything since I was a child. How could I not have the desire to play when I was a child? Whenever I have a hobby, she will deprive me of it, saying that I am obsessed with playing with things. Anyway, I envy my second brother because he is so free."

"Maybe my second brother envied me. Just like that, I became the best among the young masters of the aristocratic families in the capital. She was satisfied and then tried to force me to get married. In the end, we had a big fight and I came to Wuyang County."

"It's far from the capital, and I've lived a quiet life here, which is very comfortable."

Shen Xia was like a perfect listener, listening quietly to him telling stories about his childhood.

Even though she was just listening, she could already sense that his childhood was filled with suffocating oppression.

In comparison, she felt that her childhood was a happy paradise.

However, when the topic turned to Shen Xia, Gu Zizhan could not hide the smile on his face, and even the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Until I met you," he said, his eyes twinkling with affection.

"Your eyes are so bright and charming. When I first saw you, I knew you were different. You are smart and never pretentious, which makes my heart beat fast." He paused for a moment, as if lost in memories.

“I had never felt this special feeling for anyone before, and I didn’t know what it meant at the time. But as time went by, I gradually understood that it was the feeling of heartbeat.”

"If you ask me who I would like to spend my life with, I will choose you without hesitation." His voice gradually became lower, as if he was confessing his deepest feelings to Shen Xia.

“I will never forget the moment you said yes to me. That was the turning point in my life. From that moment on, I knew that I was the luckiest person in the world because I would spend the rest of my life with you.”

Gu Zizhan's gaze fell on Shen Xia affectionately, conveying endless warmth.
