Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 689 - 688: Following Your Heart

Just as Le Xuan left, Le Zhao coughed lightly and looked at Shen Qinglan with a smile, "Miss Shen, why are you here alone? Didn’t you go with Miss Luo to see the old Lady Situ?"

"Lingshu and Young Master Situ have something to discuss, so I came out for a walk by myself." Shen Qinglan lifted her eyes to look at him and asked, "What did Mr. Le say to you just now?"

Le Zhao’s expression, which momentarily dimmed, didn’t escape her eyes. The last time she saw this look on Le Zhao’s face was when he had a quarrel with Xuan Ying.

Le Zhao, no matter the time, always wore a faint smile. It was rare to see him unhappy.

"What else could it be?" Le Zhao stared into the distance and said blandly, "It’s just about settling down and starting a career, as usual."

Shen Qinglan instantly understood upon hearing this.

It seems she had thought too much; it’s not that this world is too progressive, but that she had just encountered open-minded people.

Indeed, not everyone can accept this kind of love.

"What did you say?" Shen Qinglan paused for a moment before asking as she looked at him.

Le Zhao took a deep breath and pretended to be relaxed as he smiled, "Besides being devoted to one, did you think I would choose anything else?"

Shen Qinglan nodded slightly at his words, "The road is long and challenging, but if you walk it, you will reach the end."

"What Miss Shen said is absolutely right!" Le Zhao laughed lightly, "It’s a pity there’s no wine here, or I would have toasted you."

"Toast what?" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

The sudden voice made the two of them raise their eyebrows simultaneously.

Shen Qinglan turned around with a smile and asked, "When did you arrive?"

"Not long ago, just now." Duan Yunfei walked over to her side and stood there, giving her a gentle smile.

Shen Qinglan pulled over his sleeve, wrapping her cold hands in it, "Borrow your sleeve for a moment."

"What are you borrowing a sleeve for?" Duan Yunfei raised an eyebrow, offering his hand, "You can also borrow my hand."

Shen Qinglan glanced at him lightly and ignored him.

"How did you know we were here?" Le Zhao was curious.

Duan Yunfei said, "I just saw Situ Nan leave with Lingshu, so I wanted to find Qinglan, and happened to run into Le Xuan on the way."

He turned his head to look at Le Zhao and said, "What did Uncle say just now to make you look like this?"

"He naturally said things I didn’t want to hear." Le Zhao sighed lightly, "I never expected him to say anything good."

Duan Yunfei half-joked, half-seriously said, "Honest advice can be unpleasant to hear, but you should listen more to make you more determined on the path you are about to take."

"What you said is not without reason." Le Zhao smiled faintly, "The more he tries to persuade me to give up, the more I want to take this path. How can I let go of what I like simply because he’s my father?"

Even though he said that, the disappointment showing between his brows and eyes could not be concealed.

Duan Yunfei took Shen Qinglan’s hand and walked to his side, saying firmly, "No matter how tough the road is, you still have us. Even if Uncle doesn’t agree, you still have Aunt Mei’s support. Life is only a few decades, so do what makes you happy and ignore the rest."

Le Zhao raised his head and blinked, after a long time, he nodded silently with red eyes.

Duan Yunfei patted him gently on the shoulder, and said nothing more.

Shen Qinglan watched the two of them and lowered her eyes with a comforting smile.

These two, usually always bickering with each other, were never absent when the other needed comfort.

Before it was Le Zhao and Yan Yijie comforting Duan Yunfei, but now, it’s Duan Yunfei standing by Le Zhao. Such genuine friendship must be one of the rarest things in the world, right?

Le Zhao wiped his eyes and looked at the two of them, "I feel like drinking!"

Duan Yunfei raised an eyebrow with a smile, "I’ll accompany you to the end."
