Chapter 357 She Doesn’t Have Much
Zhao Wei was dressed in a black robe, with a cold expression, and a pair of dark eyes with a cold and sharp edge. His body was tall and strong, standing in front of Tang Nuan, making her look particularly petite.
Tang Nuan pursed her lips and moved her feet to the side to make way for him.
Her watery eyes stared at the tip of her shoes, and her eyes fell on his waist. There was only a sword, and the jade pendant worn at the banquet had been taken off.
Her fingers couldn't help but scratch the box and bit her lower lip. Did he hate her so much?
Her heart, which was originally wide and unobstructed, suddenly seemed to be blocked by a ball of cotton wool.
In her head, all the words of Mrs. Zhao Er were repeated over and over again.
"I won't come back for dinner tonight. Don't interfere in the affairs of the second house. If anyone comes to you, say it's not your business. Let them come to me." Zhao Wei's eyes fell on her head. She was soft-hearted and seemed to have nothing to worry about except eating.
She has a close relationship with her second sister-in-law. If her second brother is separated, he will probably fight and continue to stay in the mansion.
No one will tell him that it was her second sister-in-law's request. If her eldest brother refuses to give in, he will definitely come to Tang Nuan.
Tang Nuan... she probably doesn't know how to refuse.
"Oh." Tang Nuan nodded indifferently.
She and Zhao Wei are not a serious couple, and the affairs of the Zhao family are indeed not her business.
Zhao Wei's mouth moved slightly, and he wanted to say something else. But seeing her eyes glancing around, he didn't want to say anything more to him, so he stepped away.
"Wait." Tang Nuan subconsciously called Zhao Wei, wanting to ask him if he was in the government office or in the military camp. If he was in the government office, would he still ask someone to deliver food?
But looking at his sharp and angular face, standing in the sunlight, he looked even colder.
She suddenly came to her senses, swallowed the words that were about to come to her lips, and asked dryly: "When are you going to the border?"
Tang Nuan wanted to end this kind of life quickly. The longer she stayed here, the less she knew what would happen in the future. Her inner uneasiness spread, and she subconsciously wanted to escape and protect herself from being hurt.
She had very few things since she was a child. She didn't fight for things that didn't belong to her, and she would cherish the few things she had.
She was too afraid of losing. The only grandmother who was good to her passed away, and she only had herself.
Zhao Wei's kindness to her made her accept him.
But that was good, it was just his responsibility.
She didn't want to give herself up.
"We agreed before that we would leave the capital after getting married, but now it has been postponed for a long time." Tang Nuan hugged the box in her arms and said in a muffled voice: "If it takes a long time, let's go boating in the lake, and you pretend that you didn't fish me out of the water."
Zhao Wei frowned and said, "At the beginning of next month."
In less than a month, Tang Nuan breathed a sigh of relief, watching his back as he left in big strides, but she didn't feel very happy in her heart.
After hiding the wooden box, Tang Nuan prepared to slowly pack up the things she would not use, so that she could leave immediately when she was called to leave.
She opened the drawer of the dressing table and took out the jewelry box. When she opened the lid, she was stunned when she saw the things inside.
After a while, she reached out and took out the black jade inside, which was the one Zhao Wei was wearing today.
This is where she puts her jewelry, and Zhao Wei has always known it.
His things are placed somewhere else, not on the dressing table, so he couldn't have put them wrong.
For her?
But she was not allowed to touch it before.
She touched it and it was dirty, so he gave it to her?
With this thought, Tang Nuan pouted, feeling wronged for being despised.
