Chapter 223 An unexpected guest! (Part 2)
In the cold winter, the back garden of the Ye Mansion was very desolate, with no flowers, plants or leaves to block the view. Jiang Chengfeng stood at the gate of the garden and took a glance, and spotted a lonely and desolate figure standing in the corner.
Ye Lingshuang stared blankly at the dead branches in the courtyard, not knowing what she was thinking. Jiang Chengfeng came over and said softly, "Miss Ye——"
Ye Lingshuang raised her eyes and said happily: "Brother Jiang!"
Jiang Chengfeng nodded and asked what he wanted to see him about. Ye Lingshuang sighed and said, "Brother Jiang, let me ask you a question. Which of the flowers of a woman is more beautiful?"
I was stunned. How could the talented lady Ye make this question sound like a woman in the boudoir? Where was the peerless elegance that had just come out of the hall and stumped all the young talents?
"Brother Jiang, I know what you are thinking!" Ye Lingshuang seemed a little shy and whispered, "Everyone has joys and sorrows, and so do I! I appear to be very generous in front of others, but I am only a woman after all, and I also have a shy and sentimental side!"
"In fact, in my opinion, women are the same as flowers! People only appreciate their delicate and charming beauty, but when winter comes and the beauty is gone, people will forget about them!"
Ye Lingshuang's words were like white clouds floating in the sky, unfathomable yet erratic, making Jiang Chengfeng very depressed.
Jiang Chengfeng remained silent. Ye Lingshuang giggled and said, "Brother Jiang, don't think too much! What I said just now was just a momentary sigh!"
Jiang Chengfeng smiled but didn't say anything.
"Brother Jiang, you don't know!" A trace of panic flashed across Ye Lingshuang's eyes, and she whispered, "Just now, just now - when Li Anning showed his goodwill to me, I actually felt panic!"
"Why do you say that?" Jiang Chengfeng was puzzled.
Ye Lingshuang smiled shyly, her face rosy, "Don't be afraid of being laughed at by Brother Jiang, I swore when I was seven years old that my future husband, Ye Lingshuang, must be a great hero! Not only must he be well-educated, but he must also be able to fight on the battlefield and kill the barbarians!"
Jiang Chengfeng responded in a low voice, thinking to himself, your brother has already told me about this, but I, Jiang, don’t seem to be good at either literature or martial arts, right?
"In fact, I have heard about this Prince Liang before! He is a man of both civil and military talents, and he likes me - logically speaking, he should be my ideal husband!"
At this point, Ye Lingshuang was too embarrassed to raise her head, and her words were as soft as a mosquito's buzz. "It's just that I don't have any feelings for him. Moreover, I just realized now that the oath I made back then might not be what I really wanted!"
Jiang Chengfeng was sweating, thinking whether this was a collapse of faith or not, this was a very serious matter! Jiang Chengfeng could not help but mourn for the talented lady Ye.
"Brother Jiang, you once said that there is a huge gap between ideals and reality! You told me not to give up my ideals, but also to face reality. I found this really difficult!"
The more Ye Lingshuang talked, the more confused she became. Jiang Chengfeng was confused and had no idea what this talented girl was thinking! Alas, innocent girls like Ah Hui are the cutest!
"Well - from what I heard from you just now, I can conclude that your ideals have changed, right?" Jiang Chengfeng sorted out his words and said carefully.
Ye Lingshuang sighed and nodded.
Jiang Chengfeng's head was even bigger. If it was according to what Ye Dacai said, she herself couldn't figure out what kind of person she liked! This problem was even more serious!
After thinking for a while, Jiang Chengfeng continued to ask: "Ms. Ye, are you saying that you don't know what kind of person you like?"
Ye Lingshuang's beautiful eyes rolled back as she said angrily, "Brother Jiang, you think too much! How could I not know this!"
Jiang Chengfeng hummed and continued, "I understand, Miss Ye, you said so much, just to tell me that you like someone, but this person is very different from your ideal husband image, and you are very distressed about this! Right?"
Ye Lingshuang hung her head and said nothing.
Jiang Chengfeng's mind was as clear as a mirror. He began to feel curious. Who on earth could have caused the great talent Ye to change her attitude?
"Miss Ye, I can tell you straight! Love at first sight is all lies! True love usually comes quietly!"
Ye Lingshuang hung her head and said hesitantly, "Brother Jiang, I mean - I mean that I like chatting with him , it has nothing to do with love!"
Jiang Chengfeng chuckled and said, "Actually, both situations are the same! Let me give you a piece of advice, do whatever you like. Life is only a few decades long, if you don't enjoy it now, do you have to wait until the next life?"
Ye Lingshuang was stunned for a moment, then revealed a calm and happy smile, "Brother Jiang, I don't know why, but chatting with you is the happiest thing!"
At this moment, Ye Lingshuang regained her previous image of an innocent and lively girl, sweeping away the melancholy and gloom just now.
Jiang Chengfeng couldn't help but secretly wonder, why do the talented lady Ye and Miss Shen like to confide in me ? Do I look so much like a close friend? If I don't work as a servant anymore, maybe I can open a women's psychology clinic, hehe!
Suddenly, Ye Lingshuang reached out and grabbed Jiang Chengfeng's hand, giggling, "Brother Jiang, have you noticed that I am different from before?"
The little hands of the talented lady Ye were warm and soft, just like a ball of cotton. Jiang Chengfeng was very surprised. When did this talented lady Ye learn to take advantage of others?
No, I can't suffer a loss! Jiang Chengfeng secretly warned himself, and quietly touched Ye Lingshuang's white little hand. It felt so good!
"Ms. Ye, I think you have gained a new life under my careful guidance! To celebrate this happy moment, I suggest that we can have a simple hug!"
Ye Lingshuang's cheeks flushed, she lifted her skirt slightly, giggled and ran away, but after running two steps, she turned around and said, "Brother Jiang, even though you are mean, I like talking to you!"
After saying that, the girl ran out of the garden, leaving Jiang Chengfeng alone, dumbfounded in the cold wind.
I talked to you for a long time in the cold wind, but I didn't get any advantage. This business is such a loss!
When Jiang Chengfeng returned to the hall speechlessly, he saw Ye Lingshuang standing beside Old Madam Ye, continuing to play the role of her obedient granddaughter.
Seeing Jiang Chengfeng coming back, Shen Ruoyan whispered: "Hey! Where have you been? I just went out to look for you!"
Jiang Chengfeng glanced at Ye Lingshuang, looking very depressed, and whispered: "I went to the toilet to take a shit! It's very likely that you didn't find the location of the toilet!"
Shen Ruoyan spat, her pretty face flushed, and ignored him.
"By the way! Just now I heard cheers in the hall when I was outside the mansion. What happened?" Li An Ning looked at Ye Duo curiously and asked.
