"Shall we go to the lake to talk?" Mu Qing asked softly. Since he knew she was not his sister, he suppressed the surprise on his face and had to take her feelings into consideration. However, he was full of thoughts and had to Tell her.

Under the fluffy and drooping flower branches, Zhou Muqing, the second youngest of the Zhou family, couldn't help but hugged his "sister" Zhou Zhilan in his arms, and said with red eyes, "I'm so happy to know your life experience!"

"Brother..." Knowing her background, Zhou Zhilan's mood became extremely disturbed.

"I can finally say that I love you openly. The two people in this family depend on each other and are equally lonely. Maybe I have a different feeling for you. I was crazy about Li Shaowen before, but we are brothers and sisters. I plan to suppress my emotions." Bless you. It is only today that I can be honest with you." Mu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Zhilan leaned against his arms motionless as if she had lost all her strength, bowed her head and said nothing.

"I understand that I shouldn't say this today, because I don't care about your feelings too much. Forgive me for being selfish, but it will be too late if I don't say it again. I can't just watch you...become his bride next month. "

"The eldest son of the Li family and I were fated to meet each other that day. So what if we know our background now? I, Zhou Zhilan, lived to be in my 20s, only to realize that I was a joke. The Qi family only listened to a Taoist priest. Abandoning me casually, how ridiculous and absurd? However, this kind of fantasy is being played out on me! Brother, this is not a new drama in Liyuan Pavilion. I am grateful to my parents for raising me. But After all, I am not from the Zhou family, how can I have a place to stand in the Zhou mansion?" Zhilan felt that she was at a loss, looked at Mu Qing, and suddenly sighed, "It would be great if I knew my background earlier! Maybe then There is still room for maneuver.”

"There is still a chance now! As long as you don't marry into the Li family, we still have a chance!"

"Brother, I'm not free anymore, how can I go back on my word? Even if I understand, why dad would take me to Mingji for dinner, where I met Li Shaowen impartially; why dad and aunt forced me to go out with Li Shaowen again and again; why My father agreed to marry Li Shaowen for me, so what! Their only idea is to marry me to the Li family, but I really have no right not to marry. My life was given by the Zhou family parents. It is the kindness of nurturing that I really should repay.

I am not wanted by the Qi family. For a child who was lucky enough to be taken in by his parents, it is already a great blessing to have Zhou Zhilan who is alive today. How can he be picky?Brother, after I get married, please follow the established goal. "Zhi Lan gently opened her lips with pain on her face, her life experience made herself a little confused, and every word she said hit Mu Qing's heart heavily.

It was at the damned Mingji restaurant that Lan'er first met her rival in love, Li Shaowen, the eldest son of the Li family, and things became out of control, Mu Qing thought angrily.He remained silent, staring into Zhilan's eyes, searching for his complete self in her eyes.Will God give them a chance?Zhilan's memory seems to be dialed back to that day...

Listening to Zhilan, she still has the thought of sacrificing her life for benevolence, and she still wants to follow the established goal.He couldn't let her be stupid.

Mu Qing was in a hurry: "Lan'er, you have the same temperament as me. I don't want you to sacrifice for me and the Zhou family. You are a complete person, and you have the right to pursue your own happiness. You should make your own decisions and not be punished by anyone. Things bind hands and feet. Lan'er, you can see your heart clearly!"

"I figured out what's going on in my heart? But we don't have the strength, brother, I'm really scared..." Zhi Lan's voice was low, and there was a kind of confusion about the future in her eyes.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Hearing her words rippling on his chest, how could he bear it?He directly held her head up with his hands, looking for her lips, and at the beginning of the search, he gently outlined her lips, for fear of breaking them, he kissed clumsily, and Zhi Lan also clumsily stared at her lips and pursed her lips. How Xiao responded, apart from the fact that this was their first kiss, she was indeed taken aback by Mu Qing, but the sentence "I am here" made her let go of all her defenses and fears, and she closed her eyes.

"Boom..." The sky darkened, and there was a loud thunder.It had been gloomy and hot before, but now it was cloudy.

The thunder made Zhilan startled, subconsciously flinched, and Mu Qing hugged her.

"It's going to rain, let's go back and talk about it."

"Hmm." Zhi Lan replied in a deep voice.

All of a sudden, a strong wind hit the lake, and the wind swept the branches and leaves. The wind was mixed with ash, which made people unable to open their eyes, and the clouds were getting lower and lower.

"Let's hurry up." Mu Qing pulled Zhi Lan, he held her in his arms, and ran towards the house.As soon as we arrived under the eaves at the door, the rain poured down immediately.

They entered the house.

Steward Zhou came up to him and said, "Second Young Master and Third Miss, dinner is about to start. I'm about to send someone to look for it."

"It's not coming back." Mu Qing wanted to hold Zhilan's hand out of habit.Zhilan withdrew her hand and glanced at Butler Zhou.He suddenly realized, quickly pointed to the dining room, "Where are they all?"

"Yes. Second Young Master, I'll be waiting for you."

The two walked into the dining room and took their seats.Mu Qing was excited and drank a few more glasses.Zhilan was a little afraid to look in Yuchun's direction, and felt that Yuchun was looking at her sternly, so she was very embarrassed.She secretly glanced at the eldest wife and Yuehua, but they looked as if nothing had happened as usual.

At the table, Yuchun kept adding vegetables to Zhilan.Embarrassed and overwhelmed, Zhilan hurriedly took a few mouthfuls of food before leaving the table and going upstairs to her room.Yuchun's face was full of loneliness.
After lunch, Master Zhou arranged for a car to take Yuchun back.Zhi Lan didn't go downstairs, Mu Qing quietly said to Yu Chun: "Madam Yu, you don't have to worry. Lan'er won't be able to accept it for a while. I will slowly release her."

Yuchun thanked Mu Qing and wanted to thank the old man again.The old man stopped and said, "No need."

After Yuchun left, Zhilan locked herself in her room. Why did she, who used to boast of being bold, become hesitant in the face of feelings?At this moment, she really sees her own heart clearly. Over the years, it has been Mu Qing's help and support for both big and small things.In the past, when her thoughts got more rigid, she confined herself in the box where Mu Qing was just her brother.Now that the premise is removed, she can't hold back her heart, the most important thing is that kiss, and she quickly replays the ins and outs of that kiss in her mind, covering her face in shame.

The door rang, and it was Mu Qing who came in. Seeing her covering her face, she wondered, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhi Lan put down her hands, stared at Mu Qing and made up her mind.She has always been a courageous Zhou Zhilan, and she couldn't help saying, "I am willing to follow my heart and give it a try for us."

"I'm really happy, I'm so happy!" Mu Qing became emotional, walked over, supported her by the shoulders, and looked for her eyes, "Lan'er, I...would be afraid of your reluctance. You accept me too reluctantly, I have been your elder brother for so many years, if you talk about it, I am afraid I can't stand it, I was the one who was abrupt today."

"I'm worried, the Li family..." Zhi Lan thought about Li Shaowen's attitude towards him, especially the wedding ceremony on the 24th of next month, and became more and more anxious.

"In this case, this marriage is not going to happen. Fortunately, it will be done next month, and there is still room for time. You leave this matter to me, and I will figure out a way." Mu Qing's expression became serious.

"Brother, you are the one who cleans up my aftermath every time." Zhilan became shy, she looked at him now, her face would blush when her eyes met.

"You are my sweetheart. I only have you in my heart. I am obliged to do things about you. Even if you want me to pick the stars in the sky, I will try my best to do it for you." Mu Qing said affectionately.

Zhilan lowered her head uncomfortably, listening to his confession, she was actually moved too.

"Lan'er, I want to hear you call Mu Qing, okay?"

"This is at home."

"It's just the two of us now. Call me, I want to hear."

Zhilan didn't expect that a handsome and handsome man would act like a baby, so she suddenly lost her mind about him.She turned her head to look at the smiling face in front of her eyes, which she was familiar with and liked.

Suddenly, she has never been like this, hoping to live a life of herself.She has always been a sensible child in her father's eyes, living a well-behaved life, and then obeying the arrangement to marry a well-matched son, husband and godson, this kind of life can be seen to the end at a glance, she forced herself to face her inner voice.In fact, she suddenly realized that she was losing herself unknowingly, so she shouldn't care about the world situation, she is herself.

She suddenly realized that Mu Qing had already occupied her heart, she could always feel his likes and sorrows, followed his advice, and considered everything for him. .

"Mu Qing." She stopped hesitating and looked up at him.

Mu Qing couldn't help but leaned over and kissed her again, this kiss was just like his own, gentle and just right.Zhilan was confused, her mind went blank, she was at a loss as she was held in his arms, following her heart.

When the long kiss ended, Zhilan felt a little dizzy.Before she could react, Mu Qing directly hugged her and sat on her lap.This was a more intimate pose, even Li Shaowen was not so close to her, Zhi Lan became more shy, and Mu Qing's lips lingered on her neck and ears.

Zhilan stared at him for a long time, trusted him deeply, he was her sense of security, she never put up guard against him, she was natural and affectionate.

This feeling is different from that brought by Li Shaowen. It turns out that this is the taste of love. In the past, Li Shaowen had various meetings and dates with Li Shaowen. Li Shaowen only took the initiative to arrange the itinerary, and he passively accepted it without too much trouble in his heart.

Mu Qing looked at her face: "Why are you crying again?" He noticed that her mood turned to sadness.

"No, I was sad for a while, and I was afraid that our affairs would not last long, in case the Li family..."

"Shh~ Don't worry, I will support you when the sky falls." Mu Qing sealed her lips with her index finger, intentionally teasing, "Who made me taller than you?"

Zhilan smiled.Mu Qing stared at her obsessively, as if imprinting her eyebrows and smiles.He made up his mind that when he finds a way to get rid of Li Shaowen's marriage, he will find a way to reveal her identity and marry her.Even if Li Shaowen made a move, he would do anything for her.

Someone knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Zhi Lan jumped up from his arms, pulling away from him.

"I'm Fenghuang. Second Young Master, when I went to your room, there was no one there. I guessed that you were here, so I brought you the casual clothes you often wear."

"Come in."

When Fenghuang opened the door, she only had a keen glance, and she sensed that something was wrong with the Young Master and Miss's atmosphere.She handed the plain clothes to Mu Qing full of doubts.

She planned to replace Mu Qing habitually, but he blocked the hand she extended, and she couldn't help being stunned.

"Go down." Mu Qing said.

Phoenix responded and went out.

Holding the casual clothes, Mu Qing intentionally teased Zhi Lan, and said with a smile, "Lan'er, come and help me change."

Zhilan was shy and didn't answer.

Mu Qing got up and pulled her to sit beside her: "I want you to help me." He couldn't help but take off his satin vest, and Zhi Lan helped him hold it at first.

Mu Qing continued to take off her shirt, revealing half of her body. Seeing Zhilan turned her face away in panic, she deliberately smiled and said, "Don't even dare to look at me, how dare you say you like me!"

"How dare you!" Zhi Lan said not to be outdone.She turned her head, and saw that Mu Qing had a very good figure, her slightly wheat-colored skin looked powerful, she really wanted to touch it but held back.

Mu Qing changed into casual clothes, met her starry eyes, hugged her in her arms and said, "From now on, my body and mind will be yours."

Zhilan didn't answer, but the smile in her eyes was in her heart.

She gets a sweet kiss.Mu Qing continued: "I remember I promised to give you a gift before. I have been rushing to make it in the silver building these days, and it will be ready tomorrow, and I will bring it to you when I come back."

"What is it?"

"Secret."

"No, just tell me today, okay, Mu Qing..." Zhi Lan smiled and slipped into his arms, which was sealed with another kiss.

The two were so affectionate that they completely forgot about the time, until the Phoenix knocked on the door again, they reluctantly parted.

The next day, Zhilan was awakened by Mu Qing's good morning kiss.She opened her eyes and saw clearly the magnified handsome face beside the bed, and his lips were printed on her forehead, moist and warm.

"You wake up, get up and have breakfast. I'm going to work in the silver building."

"Leaving so early? I really miss you!" Zhilan acted like a baby, stretching out her arms from under the quilt to wrap her arms around his neck.

"I'll come back earlier to accompany you today." Mu Qing half knelt beside the bed and said emotionally.

"Okay, you go, work is important."

Mu Qing nodded and stood up, kissing her cheek.After opening the door, Fenghuang waited at the stairs and handed him the coat.

In the past two days, she felt that the interaction between the young master and the young lady was quite different from before.But when she saw Mu Qing taking the clothes from her hand as before, smiling and thanking her as before, she couldn't help laughing secretly at her sensitivity.

The second young master and the third young lady are brothers and sisters after all, even if they have friendship, how can anything else happen?She shook her head as if she wanted to throw Qisi away, then turned around and went into the room to tidy up.

Zhilan washes up and goes downstairs to have breakfast.The eldest wife and Yuehua were polite to her, much better than before, but she still felt uncomfortable.Watching the servants shuttle back and forth, she seemed like an outsider, it wasn't intentional, it was just a change of mind.

She had never had such a hard day.Although it was the same as usual, she couldn't read well, couldn't draw well, and couldn't even sit or lie down.Moreover, she missed Mu Qing like never before, and she never had this feeling of "lovesickness when walking, lovesickness when sitting" when she dated Li Shaowen before.

It was easy to hear the clock in the living room strike three times, and when the door rang, she couldn't help being overjoyed, and rushed out of the door to see that it was Mu Qing who had returned.She smiled and stood upstairs looking at him.Mu Qing handed the clothes in her hand to the servant by the door, and stepped up to the second floor in two or three steps.

"Are you back?" Zhilan's thousands of words came together in one sentence.

"Come on, let's talk in the room." Mu Qing pulled her into the room.

Steward Zhou looked up at Mu Qing and Zhi Lan from downstairs, no expression could be seen on his face.He watched for a while, when Fenghuang passed by him with a basin in his hand, he lowered his head and prepared to go upstairs.

"Second Young Master is back?!" Zhou Steward didn't know whether he was talking to himself or just casually added Fenghuang.

Phoenix replied: "Yes."

"Go ahead."

Looking at Fenghuang, Steward Zhou had already left with his hands behind his back.

The two people in the room couldn't help hugging each other.Mu Qing said: "The ancients said that seeing each other in one day is like three autumns. Today I can understand the meaning of it. I miss you. After finishing the work at hand, I came back early to accompany you. Do you miss me?"

"I am the same, I don't know why today is so hard?"

Mu Qing hasn't washed her hands and face yet.Zhilan wanted to ask Yancui to fetch water, but Fenghuang had already knocked on the door with a water basin.

Zhilan opened the door upon hearing the sound and called Fenghuang in.She naturally took the towel from Fenghuang's mobile phone number, waited patiently for him to wash his hands and face, and handed it to him to dry.Fenghuang watched coldly, vaguely feeling that they were clearly a couple or a couple.While she was in a daze, Mu Qing ordered her to bring the water down, and then she recovered and retreated.

The door is closed.Mu Qing took out the gift for her, holding an exquisite box in his hand.Zhilan opened it and saw that it was a gold ring inlaid with pearls, called "Pearl".

Mu Qing held the ring and knelt down on one knee, and said to her, "I hope Lan'er, you can give me a chance to take care of and accompany you for the rest of your life."

"I am willing to give you a chance." Zhi Lan said shyly.

Mu Qing happily put the ring on for her.

"Is this the 'Pearl' I designed?" Zhilan stared at the ring, turning her palm over and over.

"Yeah, I like your 'Pearl' design very much. I got this pearl before, and I didn't think it was worth it until I saw your design draft." Mu Qing smiled, "It's beautiful, it suits you very well." .”

"I also like that design drawing very much. I didn't expect it to be so beautiful when it is made in kind."

"Lan'er, you promised me that we have already made a lifelong agreement. Don't worry about Li Shaowen's side, let me settle everything, you just need to stay at home and wait for news from me, okay?"

"Well." Zhi Lan looked at the ring on her finger, and the gemstone ring she threw in the drawer appeared in her mind. The farther the throw, the better, Zhi Lan thought.

When the two of them were together, they suddenly felt that time flew by.In the evening, Mu Qing looked at the account books, and Zhi Lan was bored by his side, so Mu Qing instructed her to study.She has a high level of comprehension and learns quickly. Seeing her working hard beside him to help him, Mu Qing felt that the boring business affairs before were more fun.

Zhilan silently accompanied him all night, and they only separated when he washed and went to bed.Sweet Dream stayed with her all night, and when she opened her eyes, it was a new day, and she still felt like a dream.
