Mu Nan was extremely angry as he listened to Lü Yun's words. Did he mean that yesterday when he said that? He was just being a bit reserved. Why didn't this person persevere a bit more? Maybe he would have agreed.
And who was this Zhuang? When he confessed his love back then, wasn't Feng'er supposed to have rejected him? Then why were they together today?
"Cough... Actually, I also..." don't dislike you that much. It's okay for me to be with you reluctantly.
But unfortunately, his words were interrupted by Lü Yun before he could finish.
"Mu Nan, don't tell me you're even reluctant to be my elder brother. If so, I really look down on you."
"I've already let it go. I won't pester you anymore. Why are you so stubborn?"
"Don't worry. I, Lü Yun, always keep my word. If you find a wife in the future, you still have to call me sister - in - law."
"I..." Mu Nan's words were interrupted by Lü Yun again. Now Mu Nan was suffering in silence.
"Alright, I won't bother you anymore. Brother Zhuang, let's go."
"Okay."
The two walked away affectionately. Mu Fengqie watched with great interest. Awesome! In the future, the Holy Maiden would surely have Mu Nan wrapped around her little finger. But speaking of Mu Nan, Mu Fengqie despised him deeply in her heart again.
You deserve it for being so stupid. Now look, you've managed to drive your future wife away.
"Sister Qie, come and play with me often in the future." Lü Yun greeted Mu Fengqie with a big smile.
Sure enough, just as Sister Qie said, this Mu Nan was a complete tsundere! Humph! Do you think I'll listen to you in the future? You're dreaming. I'll surely put you in your place.
When she told him that she wouldn't pester him anymore, his face had changed. You were always so cold to me. Now it's my turn to torture you!
"Sure, I'll definitely come to see you often." To come up with more ideas for you on how to deal with Mu Nan.
Mu Nan watched Lü Yun's departing back. He was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
What was this all about? He was like a mute eating bitter melons, unable to express his suffering.
A Ru tugged at Mu Fengqie, wanting to ask what to do in this situation.
Mu Fengqie patted A Ru's arm, signaling her not to worry.
After Lü Yun walked out arm - in - arm with Zhuang, she let go of his arm in a place where no one could see.
Zhuang stroked Lü Yun's head. "Don't worry. Mu Nan has feelings for you. When you said those words just now, his face turned as black as coal. He'll come to you soon. When that happens, you must hold your ground and don't give in too quickly."
"Okay, don't worry. I will. Thank you, Brother Zhuang, for today."
"Then I'll leave first."
"Okay."
Since Lü Yun left, Mu Nan had been in a daze. He didn't even notice when Jing Xinche came.
"What's wrong with him?"
"How should I know? He's your subordinate, not mine. If you want to know, go and ask him." Even if I know, I won't tell you. What if you snitch?
"Cough cough!!"
"My lord..." Mu Nan stood up, but his mind was still elsewhere.
"What happened to you?"
"Nothing. It's just a personal matter."
Jing Xinche thought of what happened last night and guessed it was related. He just didn't expect that his former military advisor, with such a high IQ, would have such a low EQ.
"What? Do you like her? Do you regret rejecting her last night?"
Mu Nan covered his face with a bitter smile. Jing Xinche twitched the corner of his mouth when he saw his action.
"If you like her, why did you reject her? Aren't you just asking for trouble?"
Yes, it was really asking for trouble.
"While the Holy Maiden still has feelings for you, go and get her back quickly. Otherwise, if she becomes someone else's, you won't have a chance."
Of course Mu Nan wanted to chase after her, but Lü Yun had already given up on him and turned to someone else's arms.
Jing Xinche was a bit angry seeing Mu Nan looking like he was about to die. How could he have such a stupid subordinate who couldn't even chase after the person he liked?
Unlike him, he and Qie'er... and...
Jing Xinche couldn't think anymore. His situation with Qie'er wasn't good either. Damn Nanqing Kingdom, damn Queen of Nanqing. He would surely avenge this.
Although he and Qie'er seemed to be the same as before on the surface, it was just an illusion.
Mu Fengqie would only respond to him when there were others around. If they were alone, Qie'er didn't even want to look at him.
Sigh...
When Mu Nan came to find Lü Yun, he saw her selecting fabrics. She picked some gray and some dark - blue fabrics and gave them to the servant.
Mu Nan was sure that these fabrics weren't for him because he usually liked to wear cyan clothes, and Lü Yun knew that.
But she thought that Zhuang usually liked to wear gray clothes, so Mu Nan thought these were for Zhuang, and the dark - blue ones were probably for herself.
"Mr. Mu..."
Lü Yun glanced at Mu Nan without any reaction and continued selecting fabrics. Then she gave the selected fabrics to the embroiderer.
"Make clothes out of these according to what I just said. Send them over directly when they're done."
"Yes, Holy Maiden."
"Lü Yun, I'd like to talk to you."
"What do you want to talk about?" She was so tired. She had spent a long time selecting fabrics for her father and mother. She was really exhausted. Before she could catch her breath or take a sip of water, Mu Nan showed up.
Lü Yun poured a cup of tea and gulped it down. She let out a long breath. Finally, she could take a break.
"Are you really with that Zhuang?" Mu Nan's heart skipped a beat as he asked this question.
"No."
Hearing this, Mu Nan instantly felt relieved. But before he could let out a sigh of relief, his heart was raised again.
"However, I'm getting to know Brother Zhuang. At present, we're still in the stage of getting to know each other. When we get completely familiar with each other, maybe our feelings will develop. Then Brother Zhuang and I can get married."
Humph! Just as Sister Qie said, men never know how to cherish. They never take what comes easily seriously. They only get anxious when they lose it.
You were always so cold to me. Now it's your turn to experience this. If I can't put you in your place, I won't be Lü!
"Weren't you still saying you loved me yesterday? Why...?" Why did you find another man today? Was your love for me just a joke?
"Yes, I did say that yesterday. I also said I wanted you to be my fiancé, but you didn't agree. Why should I wait for you?"
"Couldn't you have persevered a bit more? Did you change your heart so quickly?"
