President's stand-in

one year later.

Searle Castle, UK.

In the garden, the butler in a black tuxedo was orderly making good Earl Gray tea, and the distinguished Mrs. Hill was sitting beside her.

In less than a minute, Mrs. Hill had poured black tea into her cup.

The butler's hands paused, and when he saw the person walking this way, he reminded softly, "Ma'am, Master Rong is here."

Mrs. Hill nodded, and the butler bent over and stepped back.

"Mother, did you ask me to come here for something?" Rong Xing resigned and walked to the seat opposite Mrs. Hill and sat down.

Mrs. Hill took a sip of her black tea, and then asked with a smile, "Can't I call you back for a night if I have nothing to do?"

Rong Xing said, "Of course."

"Xing'er," Mrs. Hill looked at the mist rising from the porcelain white cup, "I came back to confirm one thing with you."

Rong Xingci said, "Well, mother, you can just ask."

Mrs. Hill took a sip of black tea and put down the cup. She looked at him seriously and said, "Xing'er, a year has passed, have you put it down?"

When Rong Xingci heard this, his fingertips on his knees suddenly tightened.

Have you let go...

Of course he knew who she was referring to.

"Mother, I've already put it down." Rong Xingci raised his eyes to look at her, with a cold bottomless smile on his face, "I'm doing well now, so you don't have to worry."

Starting here again, he feels a maternal love that he has never experienced before. Li Zhou and Siyu are also here, and he also has things he likes to do.

How could he not let go?

On the contrary, he felt that such an ordinary and peaceful life was very good, and he enjoyed it very much.

"Xing'er, have you really let go?" Mrs. Hill looked into his cold eyes, "But I don't think you are happy. You don't have to rush to refute me, ask yourself, are you really happy?" Did you let him go?"

Zhizi Mo Ruomu, although she did not accompany him to grow up, she has already felt his unhappiness during the nearly nine months of getting along.

Although he said he was happy, he often had a smile on his face.

But that kind of smile is a cold smile that doesn't reach the eyes, not a smile from the heart at all.

"Mother," talking about this person again, Rong Xingci found that there were still some waves in his heart, "It was he who let me see clearly, and it was he who pushed me away. I can't forgive it."

They have already cleared up that they have nothing to do with each other, their relationship has been polished, and they will only be the most familiar strangers when they meet again.

Although they can be regarded as a peaceful divorce, they can no longer be friends, let alone get back together.

"Xing'er, I know the harm he caused you, but is it really impossible to forgive him?" Mrs. Hill looked into his blank eyes, "You are not happy at all, you need someone to accompany you."

"He has been deeply imprinted in your heart, and you can't erase his traces. If you really let go, you won't reject the other people I introduced to you."

Rong Xingci pursed his lips tightly, this time he didn't say anything, he didn't know how to refute her.

After a long time, he finally said, "Mother, I'm fine by myself."

He also likes his current life very fulfillingly, except that he may recall that heart-wrenching and suffocating name in his midnight dream when he was sick.

But he felt he had let go.

Mrs. Hill, "Xing'er, as far as I know, you were not like this when he was by your side before."

In the photo and video, his whole body is filled with a kind of heartfelt happiness and satisfaction.

The kind of feeling that even the brows and eyes are softened is something he doesn't have now.

If it wasn't for that person, then there is only one other possibility...

Mrs. Hill asked distressedly, "Xing'er, tell me, what exactly did you go through in those three months?"

After receiving the news of Si Yu, she quickly sent someone to look for him. When he first found him, he looked even worse than now.

There were deep and shallow wounds on his body, but the doctor checked his body and there was no problem in other aspects.

three months...

When he caught these three words, Rong Xingci tightly closed his eyes to cover up the fear in his eyes.

It was a day he least wanted to recall.

As for what happened...he doesn't want to think about it, let alone mention it...

"Mother," Rong Xingci opened his eyes again a minute later, "I can only tell you that I have lost the ability to love."

"I can't love anymore, physically or psychologically. As for what happened during that time...I really don't want to talk about it."

Mrs. Hill felt distressed and helpless when she saw him like this, "Okay, I don't want to say that I won't ask you about this again in the future, it's just a pain for you."

She really wanted to know, and then enlightened him.

It seems that her mother is really not responsible enough, so her own son refused to tell her about that, and she couldn't help him.

It seems that his good medicine still has to be that person.

Rong Xing said, "Mother, it's all over, I'm fine."

Mrs. Hill, "You don't act like you're okay. Well, you can stay in the castle tonight, and I miss you too."

"Well, good night, mother." After saying goodbye to Mrs. Hill, Rong Xing walked into the main castle.

Mrs. Hill looked at his lonely back that was fading away, and shook her head slightly.

What should she do with him?

No, she can't let him go on like this anymore.

In the past 20 years, due to various reasons, she has not been able to accompany him to grow up properly. She wants to let him live and start in the next 20 or 40 years.

happy heart...

Mrs. Hill sat quietly in the garden for a long time until the butler came over.

"Ma'am, he's here again, still standing under that tree," the butler said.

"He's been like this for nearly half a month." Mrs. Hill suddenly found it interesting, "It seems that this young man has a lot of patience."

Mrs. Hill suddenly looked at the butler standing beside her, "Nick, do you think he is sincere to Xing'er? Should he be given a chance?"

They all came to England, even though she deliberately kept him from getting close to Xing'er, he didn't take strong measures, but just looked at Xing'er silently.With such a persistent person, she didn't understand why his EQ was so low at that time, and she was able to give up her soft-hearted Xing'er.

Nick thought for a moment before saying, "Madam, if you are sure that Young Master Rong still can't let him go, I think you can give him another chance."

"Let's not stop him, let's see how he recovers Young Master Rong. If his sincerity is there and sincere enough, I believe Young Master Rong can also be moved."

Mrs. Hill nodded after listening, which is exactly what she thought.

She can let him get close to Xing'er, and if his sincerity is enough and Xing'er still misses him, she will secretly promote them.

"Butler Nick, go and bring him in, I have something to ask him." Mrs. Hill ordered.

"Yes ma'am." Butler Nick stepped back after finishing speaking.

A few minutes later, Butler Nick came back, followed by another tall man.

After Butler Nick brought him over, Mrs. Hill motioned for him to go down.

Mrs. Hill looked at the tall and handsome man in front of her, and suddenly knew why her son liked him.

He has a beautiful face in a prosperous age, and he saved Xing'er's life by mistake before, but if he shows such a little bit of heart to Xing'er, Xing'er will definitely love him badly.

Mrs. Hill shook her head, suddenly feeling that things were a little tricky.

Good-looking men are always dangerous, not to mention he pushed Xing'er out with his own hands...

"Duchess." Lou Ximu said politely and respectfully as he bent over.

"Well," Mrs. Hill replied lightly, "you should sit down first."

Lou Ximu nodded upon hearing this, and then sat down on the seat opposite her.

"Mr. Lou," Mrs. Hill looked at him with interest, "for the first two minutes, Xing'er was sitting in your place."

Lou Ximu listened quietly, thinking that Rong Xingci had sat in this position just now, and it was the first time he felt so close to him.

Mrs. Hill, "I have noticed that you have been guarding under the tree under Xing'er's room for more than half a month. Mr. Lou, please tell me seriously why you are pushing him away Then came to pester him again?"

A faint smile appeared on Lou Xi Mu Cen's thin lips, "The reason why I did this must be clear to Mrs. Hill."

He paused, and then said sincerely, "I love Xing Ci, so I want to chase him back."

"Do you love him?" Mrs. Hill asked him back with a smile, "A year ago, you gave Xing'er in exchange for saving your beloved woman and best brother, and now you tell me that you love him?"

"Mr. Lou, I doubt the credibility of your words. And..." Mrs. Hill paused for a few seconds, "If you say that, what kind of place is Miss Chi in?

What about the location? "

"As far as I know, although she rejected your marriage proposal, when she returned to Baicheng, you still cared for her well, and your concern surpassed that of Xing'er."

"Xing'er is a fool. He holds a sincere heart and makes you trample on it. He wants to bear the huge public opinion and give birth to your child, but he is so stupid that he is willing to exchange it."

"But fortunately, he went to exchange, so that he let go completely, and completely gave up on you."

Mrs. Hill looked at Lou Ximu who was not in a good mood, and added, "To be honest, if I hadn't seen Xing'er unhappy, I wouldn't have met you, and I would have even made you completely disappear in front of him." world."

But now, but now, she has no choice but to try.

There was too much information between the lines in her words, after Lou Ximu sorted out her thoughts, she spoke in an orderly manner.

"I used to mistake my affection for Jin'er for love, and it was my fault to ignore the feelings of Xingci."
