Chapter 245 Procurement
The moonlight was dim and the mansion was silent except for the rustling sound of the breeze through the treetops.
Zhang Xiangxiu put down the exquisite porcelain teacup in her hand. The aroma of tea lingered in the air, but it could not conceal the complex emotions surging in her heart.
She was sitting on the couch, her graceful figure perfectly outlined in a white dress, her long hair like a waterfall, tied diagonally behind her head, revealing a delicate and slightly melancholy face.
Her eyes were as deep as autumn water, staring at Fu Yuzhang standing in front of her. Fu Yuzhang was wearing a black robe, with a stern face and sharp eyes.
His temperament is noble and arrogant, as if he is incompatible with this world.
Zhang Xiangxiu sighed softly. Although she knew that the relationship between her and Fu Yuzhang was no longer salvageable, she still felt a little unwilling and hopeful.
She spoke slowly, with a tremor in her voice: "Besides this, don't you have anything else you want to say to me?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Yuzhang sneered and his eyes swept across Zhang Xiangxiu's face, as if he wanted to see through her.
An indescribable emotion surged in his heart, including disgust towards Zhang Xiangxiu and vigilance towards the forces she represented.
He said coldly: "Otherwise, what else do you want me to say to you?"
Zhang Xiangxiu's face froze. She didn't expect Fu Yuzhang to respond to her so coldly.
An inexplicable sense of loss welled up in her heart, as if all her expectations had vanished at this moment.
She tried to calm herself down and look calmer.
She took a deep breath and spoke again: "Yu Zhang, we used to be in love. Although our relationship is no longer the same as before, I still hope you can understand my painstaking efforts."
Her voice was full of helplessness and resentment.
Fu Yuzhang interrupted her coldly: "Your painstaking efforts? Do you mean you are doing this for my own good, or for your own good?"
His voice was full of sarcasm and ridicule.
Zhang Xiangxiu's face turned even paler. She knew she couldn't pretend any longer.
She bit her lip and decided to speak her true thoughts: "I admit that I have done some things that are sorry for you, but that was because I loved you too much and wanted to win your heart too much."
Her voice was choked with sobs and regret.
But Fu Yuzhang just sneered after hearing this. He did not believe what Zhang Xiangxiu said.
He would have believed these words before the incident happened, but now, things are different.
He said coldly: "I can't bear your love."
"If that's all you asked me to come here to say, then let's not talk about it."
After saying that, Fu Yuzhang stood up and left in a very cold manner.
A strong pain surged in Zhang Xiangxiu's heart. She looked at Fu Yuzhang's departing back, her heart filled with pain and anger.
At this point, she could no longer deceive herself.
She knew that she had lost Fu Yuzhang's heart and everything she once had.
Do not!
She still has room for a comeback.
Zhang Xiangxiu gently stroked the jade pendant in her hand. At this moment, a strong determination surged in her heart.
"and many more……"
Zhang Xiangxiu called out to Fu Yuzhang.
Fu Yuzhang frowned slightly, turned around, looked at Zhang Xiangxiu's determined eyes, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.
He was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "What do you want to say?"
Zhang Xiangxiu stood in front of Fu Yuzhang.
She looked into his eyes, and the deep look in his eyes made her heart beat faster. She took a deep breath and began to tell the secret from ten years ago.
……
The lights in the room were dim and in the silence, the only sound was the rustling of the treetops in the breeze.
Lu Zhiran sat upright on the exquisitely carved mahogany bed, her gauze skirt swaying gently, like a lotus bud about to bloom.
Her face is beautiful and graceful, her eyebrows are like distant mountains, and her eyes are like clear autumn water, revealing an unfathomable tranquility and wisdom.
She gently stroked the exquisite jade comb in her hand, her mind full of thoughts.
Fu Yuzhang wouldn't stand her up again, so why not come over!
As expected, what men say cannot be trusted.
Just as Lu Zhiran was nodding his head and about to fall into a deep sleep, the sound of light footsteps was finally heard outside the door.
Lu Zhiran was delighted and quickly straightened her clothes and went to the door.
Fu Yuzhang, wearing a black brocade robe, walked in with steady steps.
He had a handsome face, and at this moment there was a fierce aura between his brows.
When he saw Lu Zhiran, a hint of tenderness and apology flashed in his eyes.
"Lu Zhiran, sorry for waiting." Fu Yuzhang walked forward and gently held Lu Zhiran's hand.
Lu Zhiran patted his chest irritably.
"How dare you say that? You clearly said you'd be back soon."
Hearing this, Fu Yuzhang smiled bitterly. He gently hugged Lu Zhiran and held her in his arms: "I'm really sorry for the delay. I kept you waiting for a long time."
Lu Zhiran rested his head on Fu Yuzhang's chest, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat, and an inexplicable peace welled up in his heart.
She shook her head gently: "It doesn't matter, as long as you come over."
The two stood in each other's arms, as if the whole world had stopped. At this moment, all the fatigue and worries disappeared, leaving only the deep affection and attachment between each other.
After a while, Fu Yuzhang let go of Lu Zhiran, and the two smiled at each other. Fu Yuzhang's eyes moved over Lu Zhiran and praised: "Zhiran, you are so beautiful tonight."
Lu Zhiran's cheeks turned slightly red and she lowered her head shyly: "Don't give me that. It's always like this." Although she said this, her heart was full of joy.
"It's true." Fu Yuzhang hugged Lu Zhiran tightly in his arms.
Lu Zhiran's heart suddenly felt sweet.
……
In the bustling market, Lu Zhiran, wearing a light blue long dress, brought Xiaoying and a few servants out to buy things.
The two walked on the busy street, the cries of street vendors could be heard one after another, and the air was filled with the smell of various foods and spices, which made people's appetite increase.
Lu Zhiran, however, did not look away and walked straight towards a shop specializing in selling silk.
"Madam, the silk in this store is of fine texture and the patterns are extremely elegant. You will definitely like it." Xiaoying whispered in Lu Zhiran's ear.
Lu Zhiran nodded slightly and walked into the store.
The interior of the store is elegantly decorated, with a wide variety of colorful silks.
She gently stroked the silks, feeling their soft texture and smooth feel, and couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration in her heart.
"Madam, what do you think of this piece of moon-white silk? It will make you look more elegant and refined if you use it to make a dress." Xiaoying said, pointing to a piece of silk.
Lu Zhiran carefully examined the silk and saw that it had a warm color and clear texture. It was indeed a top-quality product. She nodded and said, "Not bad, this is it."
