Chapter 359: Fiancée - Princess Anping Gu Yuan
Not long after, Shen Xia saw Qianyu coming down carrying a small bag.
My mother also came down with a contract of sale.
My mother handed over the indenture with both hands.
Shen Xia took it and took a look at it. He felt a little confused, but he didn't show it.
He put the indenture into his sleeve.
"Thank you, Mom. I'll leave with Sister Qianyu."
"Well, Princess, take care. Come and visit us when you have time?" Mom said politely.
Shen Xia was curious: "I want to play? Okay?"
The mother choked: “Haha!”
go away
It's almost noon.
Shen Xia looked at the apron she had prepared for the carriage. It was shaped like a modern straw hat, with a circle of gauze around it, so the outside couldn't see the appearance of the person inside.
But you can see clearly outside from inside.
Shen Xia said to the servant, "Let's go to Hongyun Restaurant."
"Yes, county lord."
Shen Xia looked at Qian Yu and said, "Sister, please wait for me in the car. I have something to do upstairs, and then I'll come down after I've dealt with it. We'll go eat together."
Qianyu smiled and said, "Okay."
Shen Xia arrived at Hongyun Restaurant.
So he went down with good luck and good fortune.
The waiter at the door greeted them warmly: "Sir, do you have a reservation?"
Shen Xia talked about the private room.
The waiter took Shen Xia upstairs.
Shen Xia walked to the door.
Thinking about myself now, my body shape is very different from before. I am speaking in a low voice, so he probably won’t be able to recognize me!
The waiter knocked on the door gently.
A deep voice came from inside: "Come in."
Shen Xia went in.
The waiter closed the room.
She watched quietly as the man in front of her slowly turned around.
Because of the hat, only a rough outline can be seen, but one can still feel his tall and upright figure, as if he is more majestic and powerful than before, and has more of a military demeanor.
However, he is not the image of a vulgar warrior, but exudes a unique temperament.
Over the years, Shen Xia has been to the border twice to accompany her elder brother, but has never seen Gu Zizhan again.
I heard that they were no longer in the same place, so it had been nearly five years since we met.
Suddenly, she realized that time passed so quickly, and she couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
The man bowed and said, "Greetings to Princess Anping."
Shen Xia lowered his head and responded in a low voice: "Anping has met General Gu."
"Please take a seat, Princess." Shen Xia walked forward and gently sat beside him.
Gu Zizhan poured a glass of wine for Shen Xia.
Shen Xia spoke first: "I heard from my mother that we were engaged when we were young, but things didn't go as planned. I have already married in the countryside, so I would like to trouble General Gu to ask your mother to discuss the cancellation of the engagement with my mother."
Gu Zizhan listened to this abnormal voice, frowned and asked: "Is the princess feeling unwell?"
Shen Xiazhen coughed and replied, "Well, I just have a little typhoid fever."
Gu Zizhan said with concern: "Then it would be better if you drink some tea to moisten your throat."
Shen Xia thanked him softly: "Thank you."
Gu Zizhan couldn't see the appearance of the person in the hat, but a sense of familiarity surged in his heart.
He suddenly remembered his encounter with the princess when he was a child. She was also cute back then.
However, reality led them to take different paths.
Soon, Gu Zizhan said firmly: "I also agree to cancel the engagement. This general already has a loved one. Since both parties are willing to cancel the engagement, this is also good."
Shen Xia was slightly stunned, then responded: "Yeah."
But when Shen Xia heard him say that he had a loved one, an indescribable bitterness welled up in his heart.
She couldn't help but wonder what his beloved looked like.
She must be a woman as gentle as water!
Maybe he met him at the border?
But it’s good now, he can find his own happiness, which is the most important thing.
Shen Xia took a deep breath and told herself not to let her mind wander anymore.
She knew that she couldn't be too selfish. Since she couldn't give happiness to others, she shouldn't feel sad about other people's happiness.
As a person, you can't want everything.
Because he spoke in a low voice.
My throat is actually a little uncomfortable.
Shen Xia gently picked up the teacup, put it into her hat, and took two sips.
Put down the tea cup.
"Then please General Gu, please tell your mother, and both parties will look at the time and return the engagement items."
After Shen Xia finished speaking, she didn't listen to Gu Zizhan for a long time.
I saw him in a daze.
Shen Xia planned to get up and leave, since everything had been made clear.
"Then I will take my leave."
Shen Xia stood up and walked out the door.
Inadvertently.
Listening to the shouting from behind: "Xia Xia——"
"Um."
Shen Xia stood there in a daze.
This is an instinctive response.
I just felt the hat on my head being lifted off.
Shen Xia stood there motionlessly.
Dare not turn around.
After a long time, I remembered that he already had a loved one and would no longer cling to me.
There is no need to hide anything.
Turn around quickly and directly,
Looking at Gu Zizhan's face.
After many battles on the battlefield, he has become more manly than before.
The youthfulness of the past is gone.
"Hello, nice to see you." Shen Xia greeted with a smile.
After all, he or she is your ex, so you should greet him or her in a friendly manner when you meet him or her.
Gu Zizhan looked at Shen Xia who turned around.
It's so close. The reason I came back this time was because my sister said she was in Beijing.
I just returned to Beijing to report on my work.
I had originally planned to settle this marriage first and then go look for her, but I didn't expect things to be so unexpected. Is God playing a joke on me?
Xia Xia turned out to be Princess Anping, Gu Zizhan's fiancée.
If they had been married, even if they returned to the capital later, her identity would have been discovered sooner or later.
If I had been more selfish and persevered back then, could I have avoided missing out on these years?
Whenever he recalled the scene of their separation, his heart felt as painful as if it were being stabbed by needles.
Looking at her slightly round face, Gu Zizhan slowly walked towards her step by step, and finally took her into his arms, whispering softly: "That's great, it's not too late now."
Shen Xia frowned slightly and tried to break free, but Gu Zizhan was so strong that she felt like she was locked tightly and couldn't move at all.
After a long time.
Gu Zizhan slowly loosened his arms around Shen Xia, and Shen Xia subconsciously took two steps back, putting some distance between herself and Gu Zizhan.
Gu Zizhan stared at Shen Xia intently, and said in a low and firm voice: "After I return this time, I will immediately ask the emperor to open another general's mansion. From now on, we will live alone, and the things you worried about will not happen again. All problems will be solved by me personally, and you don't need to show up."
However, as Gu Zizhan spoke, Shen Xia felt something was wrong. She frowned and asked in confusion, "What does this mean?"
Gu Zizhan took a deep breath and continued, "I came back this time entirely because of you. Even if you are no longer Princess Anping, I will never give up. Over the years, I have not done anything excessive, just to make you understand that my love for you is not a momentary impulse, and no amount of time can dilute this feeling, and I will never let go in this life."
When Shen Xia heard his words, she couldn't help but feel shocked.
"But... I'm already married." Shen Xia wanted to use this to remind Gu Zizhan of the real situation between them.
However, Gu Zizhan shook his head disapprovingly, stroked Shen Xia's face, gazed at her affectionately, and said gently: "No, we are only getting married to Shen Xia, and you will always be my Gu Zizhan's fiancée - Anping Princess Gu Yuan."
