Lianhua shook her head but said nothing. She was not sad, just a little melancholy.

I’m even a little confused and don’t know how to work hard in the future to make myself stronger so that others don’t dare to regard me as a target.

Leizi felt a little distressed when he saw her like this. He must have been wronged at the banquet today, so he was alone in a daze in the middle of the night.

What happened at today’s banquet made him feel uncomfortable even as a man, let alone a little girl like Lianhua. There will definitely be many occasions like today in the future. If he wants to completely prevent it impossible.

　"Don't worry, our family will definitely get better and better. Those people don't dare to look down on us easily anymore. If there are people like that again, we will slap them in the face and make them He knows that he has offended people he shouldn't have offended."

Maybe it's because he has lived with He Jiuniang for a long time, and Leizi's temperament is not the kind of submissive. He has the kind of person who dares to come to his door with his yin and yang. Yes, you must hit him in the face hard, otherwise others will think you are easy to bully.

This is true, but this is not why Lotus is melancholy.

"You go back to sleep first, I will be alone for a while."

" Lianhua spoke in a muffled voice, still feeling a little depressed.

Lei Zi didn’t leave, pursed his lips, and tried to ask: “Can you tell me what’s on your mind?”

He doesn’t like lotuses twice a day. God, sometimes acted very clearly. He believed that Lianhua was also aware of it, but he never showed it. This made him a little panicked, and he didn't know what Lianhua was thinking.

Especially after what happened recently, he really felt a sense of crisis.

Lotus is getting better and better, and more and more people are interested in her, but he has no fame and wealth yet, so he cannot allow her to be rich and glorious, and he cannot speak many words.

I used to think that since my family had decided to let them get engaged after they turned eighteen, he would work harder in the past few years and strive to get a good name. When the time came, he would be able to propose marriage to Lotus. There is a slight chance of winning.

But now the competition is getting bigger and bigger. Whether those people are interested in the power of the Lu family or they really like Lianhua, they are all hidden dangers for him.

He felt that he could no longer wait, otherwise the lotus would be snatched away by others.

Hearing this, Lianhua grinned and pretended to be relaxed: "Actually, it's nothing, I just feel a little reluctant to leave Aunt Jiuniang and the others."

In the past, she and He Jiuniang When we are together, we can directly ask for advice if we encounter any problems.Jiuhe Jiuniang was about to leave. She felt that she had lost her backbone in an instant, and she had to force herself to become that backbone. She was a little tired and confused.

Various emotions were intertwined, and naturally she became what she is now.

Leizi saw that she didn’t want to say anything. Although he couldn’t guess the specific reason, he generally had a direction. He thought for a while and changed the topic.

　“I heard that several gentlemen sent you messages tonight, and I want to ask you out to play later.”

　“Yes.”

Lotus nodded and didn’t refute, but she didn’t want to say more. This was exactly what she hated the most. Although she had already rejected them, those people still came to her one after another and sent her posts.

“Someone also sent me a post.”

Leizi exhaled and looked a little helpless.

Lotus nodded, she also knew about this.

At present, the three of them are the key targets of others' attachment, and it is normal for them to be sent posts.

Just when she was still thinking about how to deal with it, her wrist was suddenly pulled by Lei Zi.

Lotus was startled, she didn’t expect him to act so boldly.

"What are you doing?"

Lianhua looked at him with wide eyes, with surprise in her eyes, but not the same disgust as she looked at others.

Lei Zi was determined and ignited a lot of courage.

"Lianhua, you know that I am interested in you, right?"

She is so smart, he doesn't believe that she doesn't know.

Lianhua looked away and wanted to take her hand back, but Leizi held it tightly.

This is the default.

"What about you treating me? Are you treating me the same way I treat you?"

Leizi looked at her with bright eyes, eager to know her answer.

For Leizi, he had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Although now is not as good a time as he expected, he still feels that if he doesn’t say it now, he will have no chance in the future.

Lianhua didn’t know how to answer him, and looked to the other side unconsciously. It took a long time before she said: "Leizi, I am one year older than you, and my family..."

The only remaining member of her family is her sister-in-law. She once almost lived in a brothel, and now she only knows how to run a small business. She is not a wealthy lady from a wealthy family, so she is not worthy of him now.

Leizi is studying, and in the future he will take the exams for merit and official status, so he should marry that kind of official lady, who will add fragrance to his red sleeves and make his eyebrows match.

And she was just an orphan girl who was fostered in the Lu family. Now she only saw things like doing business and making money, and she didn't dare to think about a future with Lei Zi.

But to say that I really don’t like him at all is a lie.

Ever since she came to the Lu family, she has been taken care of by the Lu family, especially her brother who is one year younger than her.

At first, he would call her Sister Lianhua. I don’t know when he started calling her by her name. He always blatantly defended her when things happened and tried every means to please her. He The feelings for him are no longer the ordinary feelings between a brother and a sister.

She knew it in her heart, but she didn't dare to respond, for fear that she would bring misfortune to him.

The Lu family was so kind, and she couldn't bear to see anything happen to any of them.

I thought that as long as he pretended not to know, he would slowly stop thinking about it, but he didn't expect that he could persist so much and even reveal his feelings to her at this time.

"Your family is very nice. It doesn't matter if you are older than me. I just like you. My parents also like you very much. As long as you nod, my mother can go to my second aunt to propose marriage. When the time comes, We are engaged, so no one will make things difficult for you and me."

He was talking about receiving posts from others.

Lianhua was stunned. He actually guessed that he was troubled by this matter.

And what he said, get engaged.

This was something she had never thought of.

Furthermore, she knew that the eldest uncle liked her, but she was not sure whether that kind of liking was the same as her liking for her daughter-in-law?

Leizi is so outstanding now and is very popular with her husband in the academy. It is inevitable that she will become an official in the court in the future. Will the eldest uncle really still like her?

Due to her previous experiences, she had somewhat low self-esteem, so she never dared to think about these things. She just wanted to do business for a lifetime and support herself.

But now her heart was a little shaken.

She wants to have a home of her own.

A real home.
