His Majesty is Scheming - C219
Long Zhenghao looked at her excited little face and couldn’t help but feel good. Originally, she liked to play by the sea, just like two years ago. He’d taken her to the beach almost every weekend, swimming and building sand. The two men and women played like children without any regard for their image.
Ling Mengzhu was a little disappointed, but Long Zhenghao was right. The weather had turned a little cold, so it was not suitable for swimming. Unfortunately, she had arrived too late. If she had arrived a month ago, she would have been too lazy to walk in the water.
Long Zhenghao suddenly held her hand. Ling Mengzhan stared blankly as she turned around and looked at him with a puzzled expression. Seeing him squat down in front of her, touching her ankles, he smiled and said, “Take off your shoes to feel more comfortable.”
Ling Mengzhu froze on the spot, a trace of embarrassment flashing through her heart. Was he helping her take off her shoes? Squatting at her feet. If he wanted this cold and handsome man to help him remove his shoes, would it really be a matter that would bring about the wrath of heaven?
Long Zhenghao took off her shoes while she was lost in thought. His movements were gentle and meticulous as he helped her take off her shoes. Then he placed his shoes on a prominent rock and led her by the hand.
Ling Mengzhu turned her head towards her shoes and asked with worry: “Is it okay to leave them like this? Will they be taken away? ”
“Don’t worry, those people who are able to stay by the sea are not some poor people. They won’t care about your broken shoes.” Long Zhenghao laughed, and Ling Mengzhu snorted, shaking off his hand and quickly walked forward. She actually dared to call her a broken shoe?!
The sand was soft and soft. It was very comfortable to step on it. It was much more comfortable than wearing shoes. Although Ling Mengzhu thought this way, she still wouldn’t be grateful to him because of this. She felt that the silence behind her was abnormal. She finally couldn’t help but turn around, but she was almost knocked into the sea by Long Zhenghao, who was following her. Luckily, Long Zhenghao’s hands were nimble enough.
When her body was about to touch the ground, Long Zhenghao immediately pulled her into his arms to prevent her from making a fool of herself. Even so, her face was pale with fright, and her hands were clasped tightly around his waist.
After a long while, when she finally calmed down, in order to hide her uncomfortable expression, she withdrew from his embrace. Ye Zichen glared at him and cursed angrily, “What happened to you? You didn’t even make a sound when you walked. I thought you didn’t follow me.”
Long Zhenghao was very innocent as he was scolded. He raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose as he laughed, “My dear, how do you want me to make a sound while walking in this kind of soft clothes? Do you want me to ring a bell on my foot to let you know where I am? ”
Ling Mengzhan’s eyes flashed as she happily said: “This is indeed a good idea, why didn’t I think of it?”
“Ugh …” I think it’s better for me to be more careful in the future. I won’t make any more mistakes like I did today. ” Long Zhenghao quickly raised his hands in surrender. He didn’t want to embarrass himself by breaking the YY in her head.
Ling Mengzhu was amused by his appearance to the point of giggling, as the uncomfortable feeling in her heart finally disappeared. He turned around and walked step by step towards the coastline. Of course, he was still followed by Long Zhenghao.
There was still a very long coastline ahead, perhaps even a whole day wouldn’t be enough. However, Ling Meng Zhu still wanted to leave, and even had a way to keep going along the coastline until the end of the day. Of course, he had to be behind her.
She was in the middle of a beautiful daydream when she suddenly felt her hand being wrapped around a large palm. The warm touch caused her body to instinctively stiffen. The hand that was being held also froze, and then it swung with all its might, trying to shake him off.
Long Zhenghao pulled her closer. He didn’t say anything, just quietly walked beside her, accompanying her.
The sea breeze blew past her hair and caressed his face, filling his nose with her scent. Smelling the fragrance on her body, walking by the beautiful seaside, this kind of wonderful feeling hadn’t been felt in two whole years. He really did miss it. Today, he finally returned to this feeling. He had the same feeling in his heart as her, wishing that he could always hold her hand and walk along this beautiful coastline until the end of time, when the sea dried up and the rocks crumbled.
“Remember? When we used to go to the beach together, you always liked to walk like this until you were too tired to go back. Your bad habit hasn’t changed. I really don’t understand where you want to go. ” She liked to walk by herself, but she always wanted him to carry her back. It was the same every time.
“To a place with a happy heaven.” Ling Mengzhan smiled, and after pausing for a while, she turned to look at him and asked: “Can you tell me what kind of person I was before? such as personality and hobbies. ”
Now it was Long Zhenghao’s turn to be silent. After a full minute, he gave a bitter smile, “Just like now, your personality is sometimes so tender that it makes people want to love you, some are so stubborn that it makes people’s head hurt, you like to play by the sea, and you like to eat the same thing. What I remember most about you is the noodles you cooked, which I will never forget for the rest of my life. “In the past, when you had gotten off work late, it would have been fine to just eat the noodles you made, it would be better than any deliciousness. Do you believe me?”
“It’s too exaggerated.” Ling Mengzhu rolled her eyes in annoyance. Of course she wouldn’t believe it. However, she believed that Long Zhenghao liked the noodles she cooked and finally understood why he always had to eat every time she gave him a bowl of noodles.
“It’s not exaggerated at all.”
“Then why did you divorce me?” Ling Mengzhu suddenly asked as she stared at him. She had already asked this question countless times. He never found the answer he was looking for, because Long Zhenghao never answered her directly.
And the more Long Zhenghao didn’t answer, the more she wanted to know, because she could guess that the secret was not that simple.
Long Zhenghao slightly turned his face to the side, and his eyes swept across the dark blue sea. He asked helplessly, “Zhu Zhu Zhu, do you have to know the truth? “It’s already in the past. Just remember, I don’t really want to divorce you, I still love you very much.”
“You say this every time, but you never answer me for what reason. Is this question really that hard for you to voice out?” The look in Ling Mengzhu’s eyes turned cold and ashamed. She decided that no matter what, she would not let him off this time.
Whatever the reason, whatever the inside story, it was part of her life. She had the right to know, right?
“Alright, I’ll tell you the truth.” Long Zhenghao held her hand, his palm moving up her arm and pressing down on her shoulders. He hesitated and said, “The truth is that I have no choice but to marry an official for the sake of the company. It’s that simple.”
“And then you broke up with the person you loved? For the sake of the company? ” Ling Mengzhu felt her heart go cold with shame. He didn’t expect that such an incident would have happened to him before. It was truly unbelievable. She couldn’t even imagine how sad, helpless, and reluctant she must have been at that time.
Long Zhenghao didn’t say anything else. He still didn’t say anything directly, and just kept it to himself. On the other hand, he was afraid that Ling Mengzhan would not be able to take it and would stop caring about him for the rest of her life.
“Then why wasn’t she with Miss Guan in the end?” Seeing that he did not say anything, Ling Mengzhu could only continue on her own.
Although his heart was cold, his heart wasn’t in pain to the point that he couldn’t breathe. Perhaps it was because he didn’t remember. So forgetting was actually a very beautiful thing to do. She should thank her for her amnesia. This was the first time she felt this way!
She had a car accident at the wedding and left.” Long Zhenghao was pained, and when he felt pain, he frowned. Just looking at her caused one’s heart to ache, but this time Ling Mengzhan did not feel any heartache at all. Instead, a hint of bitterness rose up in her heart. Sneering, he looked at him with a smile. “You must be feeling sorry for me, right? It’s really a pity that our hard-earned backer is gone just like that.
“I don’t know. I’m already numb. I can’t feel any pain.” Long Zhenghao backed off in panic and sat on a reef that had been washed clean by the sea. Her long fingers were thrust into her hair, and her head was lowered in pain, as if she were recalling something natural.
Seeing him in such a miserable state, Ling Mengzhu suddenly regretted asking him about this matter at this time. They had clearly been enjoying the view of the sea, but now they were no longer in the mood.
She just stood a few meters away and watched him. She waited for him to come up to her on his own and say some good words to her, then she would be immersed in his tenderness.
The sun was setting in the west, and the golden sunlight was shining on the calm surface of the sea, creating a beautiful scene. Almost everyone who was playing by the sea had left, but Long Zhenghao and Ling Mengzhu were still quite a few meters away, each thinking about their own things.
It had already been an hour since Ling Meng Yu had stopped at this place. Since Ling Mengzhan was able to endure it, she had to maintain her pride. It was unknown what Long Zhenghao was thinking, but he could sit on the reef for a whole hour.
It had been too long, and Ling Meng Zhu could no longer bear it any longer. Finally, she stood up from the sand heap and walked back. He pricked up his ears and quietly listened to the sounds coming from behind him to see if he could catch up.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t hear anything about him following her. She could just go home by herself. But… There was no bus home. Was she supposed to walk back? Isn’t this a little too impractical?
As for this dead man, he was the one who wanted to bring her to the seaside. Now that she wanted to go back, he actually couldn’t help himself at all. I wonder what he’s planning to do by squatting there and watching the sunset? The balcony of one of his rooms seemed to have a better view, didn’t it?
“I want to go home!” Ling Mengzhu shouted at the vigorous figure. Her clothes swayed in the sea breeze, causing the sky to darken and the sea breeze to grow bigger. A cool sensation seeped into her neck area, assaulting her skin.
