Chapter 368
"I don't know what brother Yuzi came here today?"

Qin Yuzi felt like he had a lump in his throat, not knowing how to answer.

Although the woman in front of him still called him Brother Yuzi, the alienation in his tone was so obvious.

He gave a wry smile. "Is there something important to come to see you?"

He Mingxue lowered his eyes, pursed his lips and replied very politely: "Of course not, you and I are cousins, it's normal to walk around when you have nothing to do."

Tan Yuzi couldn't help turning pale after hearing this, and couldn't even find a wry smile.

"Brother Yuzi, please sit down."

He Mingxue politely invited him to take a seat, and after the servants brought the tea, he picked up the teacup and motioned him to drink tea slightly.

Tan Yuzi was in a complicated mood, took a sip from the teacup, and couldn't help frowning.

The tea leaves are poor and broken, and I really don't want to take another sip.

He hastily put down the teacup, looked up to find that He Mingxue was slowly drinking the tea which seemed to him very rough, one sip after another.

He couldn't help raising his hand to stop it, but felt a little rude.

"You think this tea is hard to drink?" He Mingxue raised his eyes slightly and said with a smile.

Tan Yuzi didn't know whether to say yes or no, so he looked at her silently, his eyes filled with affection for her.

It's a pity that He Mingxue has no time to see the emotion in his eyes clearly. She curled her lips and said slowly: "Just last month, it was a luxury for me to even have a sip of this kind of tea. Brother Yuzi, you Do you know what I mean?"

Her too calm tone hurt Tan Yuzi, and he couldn't help reaching out to grab her hand.

"I understand." Tan Yuzi's eyes were eager and his words were fierce. "Xue'er, I know that you have resentment in your heart, that I didn't come to you after my aunt's accident, and let you suffer all the humiliation in He Mansion alone, but Xue'er, it's not that I don't want to come to you, but that my father My mother locked me in the house and forbade me to contact you. When I thought of how wronged you had been, I felt so distressed that I wanted to take it for you. Xueer, you and I have known each other for more than ten years. How am I? Don't you understand? Don't you understand how I feel about you, Xue'er."

Facing his sudden confession and all kinds of rhetorical questions, He Mingxue's attitude was still very flat.

She thought she might feel the pain in her heart, that she would burst into tears, but she didn't.

Maybe it was because she didn't get a response from him when she needed him the most, maybe it was because she realized that she shouldn't have any extravagance from him.

So she calmly surprised herself.

"It's too late. Everything has changed." She opened her mouth slowly. "I am no longer the original He Mingxue, but you are still the same Tan Yuzi."

Tan Yuzi couldn't understand what she meant.

He only knew that he didn't want her to marry Wang Rongyan.

He took her hand and said with scarlet eyes: "Xue'er, I know that you agreed to marry Wang Rongyan not because you fell in love with him, but because you wanted to escape He Fu. If that's the case, you don't have to marry him, I... "

"Brother Yuzi, you are wrong." He Mingxue interrupted him, and slowly withdrew his hand. "I have great admiration for the prince, and I am willing to marry him."

"I do not believe."

Tan Yuzi stood up and stared at her face stubbornly. "I don't believe it, Xue'er, as long as you nod, I will immediately go to ask my uncle to marry you, as long as you nod, I will marry you, Xue'er."

At the end, his tone began to be a little pleading.

He Mingxue's eyes flickered slightly, and she raised her eyes to look at the strong emotions in his eyes, her heart was complicated but still calm.

As she said just now, it was too late.

She is no longer the innocent and beautiful He Mingxue, and there is no one who can protect her from the wind and rain.

When she faced the darkness alone, when He Changbai was seriously ill and died tragically, where was he?
It was too late to say these things now, and she could no longer be an innocent and romantic sister Mingxue by his side.

But he is still the eldest young master of the Tan family who seems to be wanton, but can't help himself in everything.

She has an extraordinary bearing, which can make countless ladies blush and look sideways. She is so proud and outstanding, but she is controlled by her parents.

"Brother Yuzi." He Mingxue called out lightly, followed by a sigh. "Even if you really go to propose marriage to your father, so what? Do you think the Qin family can accept me, or do you think you can fight against your parents?"

"I... Xue'er." Tan Yuzi couldn't refute, and didn't know how to answer.He pondered for a while, but still couldn't convince himself to give up.His eyes were moist, and he grabbed her hand again and said eagerly: "I can ask my parents. If they don't agree, I won't eat or drink. My mother loves me, and she will definitely agree in the end."

As soon as the words were finished, He Mingxue mercilessly withdrew her hand, and the corners of her mouth curled up with a bit of bitterness and sarcasm.

"Brother Yuzi, if your hunger strike was useful, you and I would not be where we are today."

Tan Yuzi's words sounded sincere, and it seemed possible that they could be implemented.

But it doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

If he could insist on not eating or drinking in order to coerce his parents to make concessions, then something happened to Tan Zishen, not to mention why didn't He Mingxue use this trick when he needed him the most?
Had to wait until she got engaged before he came here in a panic to reveal his heart, and even vowed to marry her?

When He Mingxue heard these words, his heart was already so cold.

This touching confession was just because he was unwilling to reconcile, not because he had so much affection for her in his heart.

"Xue'er, it's not that I didn't want to come to see you." Tan Yuzi's voice choked up, feeling very powerless against He Mingxue's calmness and indifference.

"Brother Yuzi, do you still remember the hairpin you gave me?" He Mingxue asked suddenly.

Tan Yuzi was slightly stunned, remembering that he had given her a white jade hairpin, which he specially sent someone to find the best white jade hairpin to make for her.

The token of love he gave her when they were still ignorant.

That hairpin has special meaning to both of them.

Hearing her sudden question, he naturally nodded slowly. "How could I not remember?"

"Just remember." He Mingxue chuckled. "I pawned that hairpin to get medicine for Bai'er. Brother Yuzi can go to the pawn shop in the east of the city to redeem it, or give it to his future sister-in-law."

That hairpin was actually taken by her.

Tan Yuzi was hit hard, and then he was very annoyed.

He couldn't imagine what kind of situation He Mingxue would be in before he was willing to pawn the hairpin he gave him.

What kind of thing was she going through at that time.

He couldn't imagine it, and he didn't dare to think about it, his breathing was so short that he almost suffocated.

His eyes were red, and he finally realized what he had done wrong and what he had lost.

He Mingxue got up slowly, looked at the snowflakes all over the sky outside, and smiled faintly. "That hairpin is very precious, but it has no destiny for me after all. Brother Yuzi, you should go back earlier."

Having said all this, He Mingxue has nothing to say, and there is no need to linger and pester her any longer, she got up and walked out of the room slowly.

Only Tan Yuzi stood there alone, feeling lost.
