Chapter 1785: 1785 waiting for Qingyue She had endured enough of the Gongsun Family. Even as the legitimate daughter, at her age, she was about to be married off. What’s more, to marry the man she had long admired was something she didn’t even dare dream of, naturally she cherished the opportunity. She had once seen Chang Haotian at a tea house, though she didn’t know his identity back then—it was others who mentioned it. Just one glance, and she was almost enchanted by him. Thinking of Chang Haotian’s extraordinarily handsome face, that noble demeanor… Follow current novᴇls on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝕟𝕖𝕥 Her heart fluttered like a startled deer. In the past, she resented Xu Minglan and Gongsun Qianru for always sabotaging her marriage proposals. Yet now, she had to thank them for dragging it out until now, allowing her the lucky chance to marry into the Pear Blossom Villa. This time, she would not allow anyone to ruin her marriage proposal. That day, news that Gongsun Qianru was just a concubine daughter, and the legitimate daughter was Gongsun Qianshuang spread throughout the entire capital city. The common people sighed at the affairs of this wealthy family. The waters of a great landlord’s family are too deep; many common people expressed that it was too complex for them to wade into such muddy waters. And the news about the legitimate sixth young Lady of the first-class Gongsun family soon to be married to Chang Haotian of the Pear Blossom Villa also spread wide, becoming a hot topic among the common people in the capital. Su Qingyue had just come out of one of the side rooms in the backyard of ‘Secret Fragrance and Sparse Shadows’ when she saw Chang Haotian waiting in the courtyard. She raised an eyebrow, “Master Chang?” “Qing’er, you’re done?” Chang Haotian walked up to her, a smile on his face. “Did the Estate Owner come looking for me for something?” It was daytime now, and there weren’t many guests in the brothel. Su Qingyue had come to manage some personnel issues and to check the accounts, even though they were mainly sent to the Su Mansion, sometimes she still had to understand the situation on site. “I wanted to see you.” His eyes were brimming with longing for her. “Why does the Estate Owner bother?” She suddenly remembered something, “I heard you’re about to marry Gongsun Qianshuang, congratulations in advance.” His facial expression darkened, “Do you really wish for me to marry her?” “What does this **** matter?” Her demeanor was as calm as the wind, “Between the Estate Owner and me, we have always been strangers.” His heart was pierced with pain, and he reached out to hold her small hand, “Qing’er, I’ve loved you for so many years, are you not touched at all? I know you do not love me, but even if it’s just moved…” Su Qingyue withdrew her hand, wiping the spot he touched with a handkerchief. Seeing her actions, he felt utterly rejected, “Do you…do you find me dirty? I know you want a lifetime of one couple, I, Chang Haotian, am a dignified man, keeping myself for you, having never touched another woman, yet you…” She smiled lightly, “The Estate Owner’s deeply affectionate lies are truly moving to the listener.” “How could it be a lie? My feelings for you are real…” Seeing her serene face, his heart skipped a beat, “You… found out?” “What are you referring to?” She replied. He was of course referring to the matter with Liu Yuqing, but he feared she might not know, therefore he dared not, nor could he easily speak of it. If she discovered he once hid a secret mistress, with her temperament, she would never forgive him, and they would forever be impossible, “Qing’er, no matter what. I truly love you. I, the Estate Owner of the world’s number one estate, what kind of woman could I not have? Yet my heart is wholly dedicated to you. Even…” he closed his eyes with pain, “even your and Xiao Yuchuan’s son, I can treat him as my own. I just want you to give me one chance…” “Look at your pitiful expression?” Su Qingyue looked at him, her facial expression relaxed, “Why, do you think giving me an so-called opportunity and having an immensely open mind to accept my Ye’er is something burdensome? Master Chang, you truly need not do so. You have a certain understanding of me, and similarly, I understand you. You could never see Ye’er as your own son.”
