Where prosperity ends, flowers never end

Cheng Mo followed her silently, being pulled wherever she went, but his expression changed the moment he saw Shang Zijun.

She let go of Cheng Mo and walked straight over. The huge gap filled his whole body.

"Zijun."

Shang Zijun turned his head immediately when he heard the long-lost voice, and the moment he saw her, his heart was so broken that it couldn't be put back together.

"Xier..."

"Why are you here?"

Shang Zijun was silent for a moment. Bai Yueguang's lethality was simply overwhelming. All the things that happened between them flooded into his mind. Everything was originally fine, and he was looking forward to marrying her home and loving her forever.

"Ah...she's...picking out clothes."

The word "she" is no more harsh than "my wife".

"Oh, really... How is your relationship going?"

Shang Zijun looked at her and wanted to reach out and touch her again, but he had no right to do so.

"But we will just live our lives normally. Since she has married me, I will not treat her badly and will treat her as a husband and wife."

Ran Qianxi smiled lightly, and to anyone who saw it, it looked like a sad forced smile.

"That's good..."

She took a step forward, but Shang Zijun did not retreat until Cheng Mo came over, then he took half a step back.

"Then did you miss me?"

People are like this. They clearly let go of his hand, but they selfishly want to occupy him.

"It's no use thinking about it now, is it?"

Ran Qianxi took another half step forward, his eyes already blurred.

"Why is it useless? We can still be together."

In the entire Xuan Kingdom, only Ran Qianxi could say such absurd words.

"What did you say?"

"I said, even if you are married, I can still be with you."

The words were so obvious, how could Shang Zijun not understand? But when he looked at her, he actually felt like laughing.

"Ha ha…"

He laughed sadly a few times.

"Then why don't you marry me?"

"I…"

Seeing her hesitation, Shang Zijun asked again with emphasis.

"Tell me...why don't you marry me? Is it because of the person behind you?"

Ran Qianxi looked back and saw that Cheng Mo's eyes were so cold.

"It's not because of him...it's because..."

Ran Qianxi still couldn't explain why, it was just that she was fickle and frivolous.

"You were the one who said you wouldn't marry me, but now you suddenly appear and say all this to me. Have you always treated me as your toy?"

"No, it's not..."

Shang Zijun laughed a few more times, but it was so painful and powerless.

"I don't want to ask anymore. Now that I'm married, I won't do anything that goes against the moral code of husband and wife. Miss Ran, I'm leaving now."

Hearing the last words, "Miss Ran, I'm leaving now," she finally realized how it felt to have her heart broken.

Cheng Mo looked at her worriedly. He had heard about some things between the two of them, although they were just gossip among the people.

He walked silently to Ran Qianxi and took her hand. He obviously didn't care about their past, and didn't dislike her because of her character.

"Do you like him very much?"

Hearing this, Ran Qianxi smiled faintly. She liked it but was more unwilling, even though it was her own fault.

"Yes, but I took the initiative to separate from him for his own good."

"No one would think that the other person broke up with them for their own good."

Ran Qianxi looked at him in confusion. She knew very well that she was not a good man. Even if the court banned the old system of marriage between officials and businessmen, there would still be countless difficulties and troubles if the two of them got married.

When an official and a businessman marry, the two parties cannot change their household registration, and the status of officials in the court will be much lower than before. The businessmen will hate the officials, and then they will have difficulty in the chamber of commerce.

If something unexpected happens to the Ran family, the merchants will be unable to help. Similarly, if there are problems with the merchants, the Ran family will not be able to intervene in the Chamber of Commerce.

Besides, Shang Zijun will never be able to hold his head up in the Ran family for the rest of his life.

"So, what do you think? It's not possible for lovers to be friends after they break up?"

Cheng Mo was stunned for a moment. How can lovers remain friends after breaking up? Even if they could, it would just be an excuse to deceive themselves.

"There is no precedent for lovers to remain friends after breaking up, not only now, but also in the future."

Ran Qianxi suddenly laughed a few times, and her mood didn't look bad at all.

"Hahaha, they are so petty and hypocritical."

"Hey? If the two of us are together, can we still be friends after we separate?"

Cheng Mo paused visibly, pondered for a moment, and finally said the words that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.

"Maybe... you can try..."

Ran Qianxi smiled calmly, held his face and kissed him.

"Okay."

Cheng Mo asked her in disbelief, can such an informal declaration of love be considered a declaration of love?

"You agreed?"

Ran Qianxi saw his surprise and wondered if he was trying to make fun of her.

"what happened?"

"Nothing, I just can't believe it."

Ran Qianxi was even more confused.

"So do you agree or not?"

Cheng Mo excitedly pulled her wrist.

"I should ask you if you agree or not."

Ran Qianxi smiled and opened her arms.

"Then come over here and kiss me."

There were many people on the street, and Ran Qianxi teased him on purpose, but she didn't expect that he would really hug her in his arms and kiss her.

His decadent expression madly stirred Ran Qianxi's heartstrings.

"I'll take you to a good place."

Cheng Mo was still looking at Ran Qianxi with a nostalgic look in his eyes when he was pulled to the inn.

"This is…"

"You come in with me."

Cheng Mo stood there firmly. He knew exactly what Ran Qianxi wanted to do, so he took her away.

“Hey hey hey hey…”

"Don't mess around, it's not time yet."

Ran Qianxi was pulled behind him, and no matter how she looked at him, she felt that he was not shy, but rather a bit chauvinistic.

"I'm not messing around. What do you mean by that time? Do we have to wait until we get married?"

"At least get married."

"Hey, Mr. Champion, don't be so rigid. I've already told you, when is the right time?"

"No."

Ran Qianxi walked forward with a raised eyebrow. It must be that her methods were not yet effective and Shang Zijun couldn't hold on.

"You haven't touched a woman yet?"

"I've never touched it...Is it strange..."

"Strange, isn't it..."

Cheng Mo smiled faintly and picked her up.

"The Dali Temple still has a case to deal with. I'll take you back first."

"Aren't you taking a day off today?"

"One more day of rest means one day later I will marry you."

Ran Qianxi raised her upper body, and Cheng Mo continued to walk briskly while holding her.

"Then don't wait any longer. Come with me to the inn now."

"If I get something too quickly, I'm afraid I'll lose it too quickly."

Ran Qianxi looked at him helplessly, not only was he twisted but he was also very pretentious...
