Chapter 2826 Finally, I Lost You

Hongdou picked up the jug, poured herself another glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Since adults say life is short, why are you wasting time talking about this? Why don't you come and drink."

Jin Lan smiled and poured herself a drink, "Let's drink for this snow."

Anko looked outside.

The snow is falling heavier and heavier, like catkins.

After drinking a bottle of wine, both of them were tipsy.

A blush appeared on Hongdou's face: "I originally planned to drink this pot of wine for three days... Sure enough, I still can't just invite people to dinner."

Jin Lan smiled and said, "You'll feel bad for having so much wine. If you come home with me, I'll treat you to free drinks every day, okay?"

"Although the wine is cheap, I made the money stitch by stitch."

"Hongdou..." Jin Lan held her slightly hot hand, "I don't want to see you working so hard, staying up late at night embroidering. Come with me, I want to take care of you and stay with you."

"I don't need anyone to accompany me or take care of me. I can live very well on my own."

"But, I need you!"

"Master Jin..."

"Hongdou, maybe you don't need me, but I need you and want you to stay with me." Jin Lan put down the wine glass and stared at her, "Hongdou, the first time I saw you was when you were twelve years old. On the day of his birthday.”

Anko looked up at him.

"Maybe you don't remember. At that time, your Wei family had not been raided. You were still the eldest daughter of the Wei family. I saw you picking flowers and playing with a few little girls. At that moment, I remembered you. After returning home, I asked my parents to propose marriage to your family, but at that time your father refused because you were still young."

Anko was stunned.

She never knew that such a thing happened back then.

"Did your family really come to propose marriage?"

"Yes. At that time, I thought about waiting until you were older than 13 years old before proposing marriage. However, before you were older than 19 years old, something happened to your family." Jin Lan said softly, "At that time, I asked my grandfather and father for help, but the late emperor was determined. I have no choice but to do anything to you. I asked everywhere for news about you, but there was still no news. I thought I had lost you until I met you again in the palace. Your face was hurt at that time. I swore at that time that I would never miss you again. In order to heal your face, I searched all over the country to invite Ouyang back. In order to take you out of the East Palace, I begged your majesty and my empress. I begged my grandfather to let me marry you. . But... you had already offended the late Queen and King Lu at that time. The family did not agree. In order to get you, I had no choice but to agree to marry the Fang family. "

His eyes were slightly red: "I want you to be happy, and I am willing to do everything to make you happy, but after all, I am not strong enough. In the end, I lost you."

Anko lowered her eyes, a tear falling from her cheek.

"I am not a saint. I will make mistakes, be cowardly, and shrink back. But please believe that my love for you is true and has never changed in the slightest." Jin Lan stood up, "Maybe I was wrong from the beginning. . I only thought about how much I like you and want to get you. But I forgot to ask if you also love me and want to live with me."

He walked to the door, turned back and said with a smile: "If you love someone, you have to let them live according to their own wishes, right?"

Hongdou was silent for a while and said softly: "Jin Lan, I...it's not that I don't like you. I just don't want you to be in a dilemma, and I don't want you to become someone you are not because of me."
