MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 545 one night stand

“You know, I’ve never been a troubled person, but I just don’t understand what I’ve been looking at the two of you these past years. Do you like Cousin Zhao?”

Xia Meng raised her eyebrows. No one had ever asked her this before.

"Why did you ask so?"

"In the early spring of this year, I originally planned to give you spring clothes, but I saw cousin Zhao standing at your door, as if he wanted to knock on the door. Seeing that I was there, he left in a hurry, and there he was. After that, I saw that the two of you have been avoiding each other. If you can't meet, you will definitely not meet. Even if you do meet, you rarely talk, so I asked this question. "

Xia Meng was a little embarrassed. She never knew what to say about the early spring incident.

But she is not the kind of person who hides things. Since Du Jingyi asked, she spoke frankly, so she said with a calm expression.

"One time, he got a jar of good wine. I happened to be passing by and I thought about trying it. As a result, I drank too much. When I woke up, I found that we had slept. He told me several times that he wanted to try it. Responsible, but I...but I don't think it's a big deal, and I don't want to be tied to him for the rest of my life."

Du Jingyi was shocked and didn't know how to continue this topic.

 Sleeping is not a big deal. I don’t want to. No matter what he says, Du Jingyi can’t accept it.

Although the people in the Daxing Dynasty were open and women could reconcile and divorce, it was somehow inappropriate to be together without being married. Moreover, the two of them acted as if nothing had happened afterwards, and they really didn't know what to say.

"scared?"

Xia Meng's expression was very relaxed when she said this, not at all like Du Jingyi's, and her calmness also made Du Jingyi a little worried. Could it be that she was stimulated and her brain was damaged?

So he said quickly.

"Cousin Zhao is a good person. Although he is a bit older, he is very reliable. My aunt's family are also kind people. If you are together, she will be very happy to know that she will go north immediately. I’m planning a happy event for you two.”

"A happy event? Where does the happiness come from? We both have no relationship foundation, so we want to get married just because of such a thing?"

Xia Meng shook his head, his expression full of calmness.

"I'm not a woman like you here, and I don't value these things, so since it's a misunderstanding, let it go. We're doing fine now."

"Really? But you were quite surprised just now when you found out that cousin Zhao was leaving."

"What surprises me is not that he is leaving, but that he is going to join the army. I have never seen or participated in the life in the military camp, but I know that he will have to endure a lot of hardships. I am surprised that a noble man like him wants to go. This is it.”

Du Jingyi was shocked, it turned out that he had misunderstood, he sighed and said.

"Actually, when you two came here together, I thought it would be great if you could be together. Later, I saw that you two were as calm as relatives, so I didn't think about it in this aspect. But there is one thing. Although you are like this Thoughts, but have you heard what cousin Zhao thinks? Hasn’t he always said that he wants to be responsible? Could it be that he actually cares about you? "

Du Jingyi’s words made Xia Meng fall into silence.

She had always felt that his so-called responsibility was just because the two had a close relationship, but she never thought about it. After being reminded by her, Xia Meng had another perspective.

Du Jingyi saw that she didn't speak, so he quickly continued to express his position.

"Right, I'm afraid you two haven't had a serious talk since this happened. You think you don't want him to take responsibility for the sake of responsibility, but he might also think that you dislike him because of this, so you go back and forth. There is a gap between you two, and Cousin Zhao has the idea of ​​being discouraged, and it is not impossible for him to go to the military camp and beat him up."

"Really? You mean he joined the army because of me?"

 “It’s not impossible.”

Xia Meng frowned, obviously hearing what she said, but when Du Jingyi saw her reaction, he didn't say anything more and just stayed with her quietly, letting her figure it out on her own.

 Fortunately, Xia Meng spoke up not long after. She was not a coy character to begin with. Since there was such a possibility, she would not guess and just ask directly.

"Where's Xing Zhao? I'll go and make it clear to him. If he really wants to join the army because of me, it's not necessary."

Du Jingyi saw that the two of them finally had a chance to have a good talk, and he was happy in his heart, but he still had to calm down on his face, so he said calmly.

"Probably in his own yard. He said he would leave in two days. He is probably packing his luggage now."

“Well, I’ll go over and have a look, but if he’s not there, please find someone to tell him. I have something to talk to him about.”

 “Okay, okay, I will definitely bring it!”

 If there is some talk, it means there is still a chance.

Du Jingyi thought it was very good, so he took one bite.

Seeing this, Xia Meng stood up and said goodbye, running to the yard where Xing Zhao was. Unfortunately, Xing Zhao was not there. Instead, he saw Butler He and several servants coming in and out to pack things.

Seeing this scene, Xia Meng realized that Xing Zhao was really leaving.

How to put it this way, she didn't feel any attachment to her. She just saw the kittens and puppies every day, and she still had some feelings for him, let alone such a big living person.

She was in a low mood. Butler He happened to meet her when she turned around, so he stepped forward and asked.

"Why are you here, Miss Xia? But you need to see Mr. Ciao if you have something to do?"

 “Well, where are the others?”

“I went out, but I didn’t say when I would come back. Are you anxious?”

"There's no rush. If he comes back, just tell him. I have something to say. Just ask him to come to my yard."

Steward He nodded and agreed.

Xia Meng saw that no one was there, so he went back. He originally wanted to continue reading, but he turned over a few pages and couldn't read, so he just went to sleep with his head down.

 When I woke up, it was already evening.

She stretched her waist and was moving her muscles when she heard a noise from outside.

"you're awake?"

Hearing that the voice belonged to Xing Zhao, Xia Meng was stunned for a moment, and then asked.

"when did you come?"

"I've been here for about two-quarters of an hour. My cousin and housekeeper He both told me that they wanted to see me for something, so I came over."

When Xing Zhao said this, he looked calm, but if you look carefully, the corners of his mouth still trembled slightly.

 A few months had passed, and he still felt a little uncomfortable when facing Xia Meng. (End of chapter)
