"Why isn't there any movement?" Wen Lun could not help but look in the opposite direction, appearing somewhat anxious and restless.

Bai Zhen frowned. "You're very irritating."

Wen Lun pointed outside and said very seriously, "Outside are the most beautiful and outstanding girls from nearby. Are they not interested at all?"

Bai Zhen rolled his eyes in annoyance, "Do you think that everyone enjoys smelling that rouge as much as you do? You think wild flowers are fragrant, but other people only like their own flowers. "

Wen Lun rubbed his nose and muttered, "I don't have any of my own flowers, do I? "Besides, apart from the Crown Prince, there's no marriage for the rest, right?"

Bai Zhen smiled with narrowed eyes. "Soon."

Wen Lun coldly snorted. "Just a bit more."

Bai Zhen shrugged his shoulders. "There's not much difference. The young prince is pure and clean, unlike you."

Wen Lun said angrily, "What happened to me? Listen to the ditty and look at the beauty, what's wrong with that? "

Bai Zhen laughed. "That's right, that's right." He slanted his eyes and looked at Wen Lun. Seeing that Wen Lun was still glaring at him, he couldn't help but smile. "I say, Zi Yu, why are you so angry? As a businessman, how could he do business when he was so angry? "To greet others with a smile, you must be kind enough to make a fortune. Who would be willing to do your business if you had a bad face?

Wen Lun said, "It doesn't matter. My father's temper is so great that he was able to make such a big deal. I'm much stronger than my father."

Bai Zhen leisurely said, "The reason your father did business well is because with your brother here, you might not even be able to give birth to a son who knows how to manage accounts, deal in business, and even have a good temper. If you give birth to sons like yourself, then the family's wealth will not be enough to throw away. "

Wen Lun's eyebrows twitched. He was almost angered to the point of being amused. "Bai Zhen, I feel that as long as I can't see you, I'll be very calm and patient."

Bai Zhen looked at him without concealing his disdain, "You? What was restraint? One's heart was as tranquil as water, unruffled by humiliation. This was what was called self-restraint. "Look at you. Just because I said a few words of truth, you became angry from embarrassment, became furious like thunder, and you still have the nerve to claim that you have self-restraint?"

Wen Lun curled his lips and said, "Yes. Since you, Young Master Bai, are well-bred, I am a petty person who got angry out of embarrassment. Is this a success?"

Bai Zhen looked at him with praise. "People know their own limitations. To be able to see through one's own inadequacies is not a bad thing. "

"You …" Wen Lun took a few deep breaths to calm his emotions. He repeatedly waved his hand. "Alright, that's enough. Let's end it here. There's no need to say anymore." I've never fought you in all the years I've known you. What are you talking about? I won't fight, okay? "

This time, Bai Zhen did not continue choking him. Instead, he looked at him with a serious expression and sighed helplessly. "Zi Yu, you're too impatient. It's not good to continue like this."

Wen Lun waved his hand. "Don't try to persuade me. I don't want to hear it."

Bai Ju said, "According to the engagement, Young Prince could have married Qing Han three or four years ago, but he didn't. Why do you think he is? Wasn't it because he didn't have the heart to drag Qing Han down? Moreover, don't think that Zhao Qingyan will be able to hide the matter between you and Qing Han. He has given you so many years to fight for the heart of the Qing Han, what are you doing? After three years of doing nothing, why are you here lamenting and tormenting yourself? "

Wen Lun clutched his head and shook his head in pain. "It's already too late."

"Not too late." Bai Zhen reached out to grab Wen Lun's lapel and pinned him against the wall. He stared intently into Wen Lun's eyes and said in a low voice, "The betrothal gift hasn't been given out yet, and Qing Han also hasn't married him. She'll be able to make it in time. You said that you loved Qing Han, and you were willing to do your best to marry her, but did you do your best? "No."

Wen Lun was startled. "But …"

Bai Ju said, "Yes, you are right. The reason that Qing Han chose to marry Zhao Qingyan is because the influence of the Qi Mansion is such that the Manchu Mansion has been stuck for more than a hundred years. He is a prince, you are a merchant, your positions cannot be compared. However, love is not a business, and none of you should be hasty in deciding your life for the same reason. As a man, you don't even have the courage to fight for your own woman. What right do you have to say that you want to marry Qing Han? "

Wen Lun was startled. "I …"

Bai Jian said: "If there were no miracles, Zhao Qingyan's life could only be up to thirty years old. This is the diagnosis of the world's most brilliant doctor." As for you, your life is much longer than Zhao Qingyan's. Zhao Qingyan can't give Qing Han happiness', that's what you said. So what are you waiting for? "The woman you love to the bone is currently spending your life with someone you can't give her happiness. What are you waiting for?"

Wen Lun's shoulders trembled slightly. "Stop it, stop it …"

Bai Zhen released his grip on one of his fingers and pointed it towards the other side, his narrowed eyes gleaming with a cold light, "Go, Zhao Qingyan is right in front of you. Tell him that you love Mu Qinghan and that you are willing to sacrifice everything for her happiness. "Tell him that you want to fight with him."

Wen Lun slumped against the wall and whispered, "I can't do it."

Bai Zhen did not seem surprised at all. He only sighed lightly, no longer as forceful as before. "If I can't do it, then I shall give up."

Wen Lun looked at him with some astonishment. He could not help but ask, "Did you already guess that I would do this?"

Bai Zhen released his hand and retreated a few steps back before resting his head on the table. He tilted his head and said, "If it were me, I would definitely not fight over it. Accurately speaking, I definitely will not intervene after Qing Han has made her decision. "

Wen Lun shook his head and suppressed the irritation in his heart. "Then why are you still talking to me about this?"

Bai Zhen shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It should be because I still have a bit of luck, right? Maybe when I provoke you like this, you will rush over? "

Wen Lun bitterly laughed twice. Surprisingly, he did not bicker with him. "I would rather rush over …" But there was always a trace of concern that held me back. "

Bai Ju said, "Bear with it. Perhaps in a few more years, you will give up."

"Give up?" Wen Lun looked at his own palm, clenched his fingers, and muttered, "Hey, Er Zhao, have you ever liked any girl?"

Upon hearing Wen Lun address him, Bai Zhen could not help but turn to look at him. Seeing Wen Lun's exceptionally lonely expression, Bai Zhen forcefully swallowed back the word "there" and softly said, "Not yet. I'm also glad that I haven't."

Wen Lun smiled bitterly. "I'm sorry."

Bai Ju was startled, "Why are you apologizing?"

Wen Lun said, "I don't have the courage to face the current Qing Han, but let you comfort her in my place …"

Bai Zhen suddenly spoke up to interrupt him, "Ziyu, you don't have to blame yourself. My friends for more than ten years, both of you are in pain because of this. If I had to stand aside and watch without doing anything, I wouldn't be able to do it either. "

Wen Lun simply slid down the wall and sat on the ground. He buried his face in his knees and said in a muffled voice, "Actually, compared to the sadness of a woman who admires you dearly, I might not be able to bear the lack of a person in my life. I feel weak all the time when I'm with you. I hate myself for being weak. I am not as calm and strong as you, not even as Qing Han. The only thing I know is that I am at least outstanding enough. I can stand by your side, and I am qualified to stand by your side. "

He clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms. "I'm afraid of the loneliness of standing in a corner and watching other kids play, but I can't join. I must admit, I love Qing Han, but I regard her more as a friend than as a lover. I knew it would happen, but I kept telling myself it was still far away. But now I have to face reality. Without Qing Han, what other reason do I have, what excuse do I have to stay by your side? "

Wen Lun paused for a moment, placed his chin on his knees, and lowered his voice a bit. "Three years ago, I had a dream. In my dream, I seem to be married to Qing Han. You said the words of blessing and then left alone. In the dream, Qing Han seemed to have married someone else. We stood in the courtyard without Qing Han, watching her back as she disappeared. And then you said, 'It's always to be married, you, and me. "Then, I'll leave."

"Hehehehehe …" That's right, we have to get married no one can be this crazy for their entire life. It's just that I'm too unconscious. "

Bai Zhen listened silently. He did not interrupt, nor was he impatient. After a long silence, he asked, "Do you think I'm very cruel? It's always been so. Even though I know you're sad, I'm not even willing to say a word of consolation. "

Wen Lun laughed in a low tone. "To think that you knew about it."

Bai Zhen smiled faintly. "Forget it. I can't say anything good in the end, so I better not say anything good."

Wen Lun raised his head and looked at him. However, his gaze passed through him and landed on the wall behind. "The difference between you and I, is that you are not used to being lonely."

Bai Zhen declined to comment. "I feel that the difference between you and me is that you are the second son while I am the eldest son."

Wen Lun did not seem to understand what he meant. His gaze shifted to Shi Mu's face with a puzzled expression.

Bai Zhen did not reply. Instead, he used his smile to cover up his previous fleeting sadness. "Don't think so miserably about yourself. You still have a little use for it."

"A little?" Wen Lun shook his head. "When will I become as useful as Big Brother?"

Bai Zhen laughed. "I'll be in suspense for the rest of my life."

Wen Lun was stunned and subconsciously asked, "Why?"

Bai Ju said, "Because your big brother wouldn't want you to become someone like him. He wouldn't give you a chance to become someone like him."

When Wen Lun heard this, he laughed. "Big Brother cares about me so much. How could I not want to become stronger?"

Bai Zhen narrowed his eyes at him, the smile in the corner of his eyes seemed to carry some emotion and a sigh. "I've never experienced this before. No matter how you take it for granted, you wouldn't know that it's so difficult to move without the protection of an elder's family. It's because your big brother cares about you that he can't let you go through all that unnecessary pain. "

Wen Lun curled his lips. "Don't use such a tone of guidance to speak to me sincerely and earnestly. I would really like to beat you up just by speaking to you." Don't forget, you were only born a few months before me. "

Bai Zhen took a peach from the side and threw it to him. "At a time like this, you need to eat something. After you finish eating, you won't be angry anymore. "You look like you've recovered from your injuries, but I don't have any. If you want to beat someone up, then I won't be accompanying you."

Wen Lun took it and took a bite. While chewing, he asked vaguely, "Young Master Bai, since you've been through so much, could it be that once Qing Han marries into the Qi King Manor, you'll just leave me, a stupid and reckless guy, behind?"

Bai Zhen said decisively, "Definitely. I've been hassling you since thirteen years ago. I can't wait for you to get the hell out of here. "If it weren't for Uncle Wen and your brother, I wouldn't even be in the mood to look at you."

Wen Lun finished the peach in a big gulp and said with satisfaction, "I am relieved that you have said that."

Bai Zhen raised his chin and asked with a smile, "Do you wish for me to go far away, or are you reluctant to part with me?"

Wen Lun curled his lips. "I'm just afraid that no one will clean up the mess I left behind." He stretched out his hand and waved it.

Bai Zhen asked, "What's the matter?"

Wen Lun crooked his fingers. "Throw another one over to me. It's quite sweet."

Bai Zhen tossed the remaining three peaches on the plate to him, then stood up and walked outside. "Then Young Master Wen, please eat slowly. I'm going out to serve some wine to the guests."

"Wine?" Wen Lun rolled his eyes. "So many girls, who needs you to accompany them?"

Bai Zhen retorted bluntly, "Only people like me who are merchants should seize any opportunity to earn a fortune. Look at you, eating peaches is still something your Wen Family bought out of their pocket, tsk. " He shook his head with a look of disappointment.

Wen Lun threw a peach over. "Get the hell out of the Wen Family's pavilion!"

Bai Zhen caught the peach and threw it back before waving his hand. "Let's go."
