Chapter 1081

1081 Guarding until the clouds parted and the moon rose

Leng Xu was teased by his niece-in-law, so he deliberately remained expressionless. He gave her a look.”Hurry up and go.”

Tong Lu nodded. She walked as fast as she could, like a matchmaker.

“Lulu, where are you taking me? Walk slower, you’re pregnant now, so you can’t walk so fast. Take it easy.”

Xu Ling was called out by his daughter-in-law. He asked her as he walked and kept reminding her to pay attention to her steps.

Tong Lu nodded and held Xu Ling’s wrist. “It’s a good thing. You’ll know in a while. Granny, it’s in the garden over there. I won’t be going over, someone is waiting for you there.”

She smiled and kept Xu Ling in suspense. Madam Xu Ling was a little confused. She followed Tong Lu’s lead and saw a man standing in the distance with his back to her. He was tall and straight. She could recognize him just by looking at his back.

“Your fourth uncle is looking for me?”

yes, fourth uncle has something to say to you. Granny, good luck.

Xu Ling glared at Tong Lu. what’s there to cheer for? can’t I understand what you’re saying? ”

After Tong Lu left, Xu Ling strode toward Leng Xu. The distance between the two of them gradually shortened. Before she could reach him, Leng Xu heard the sound of footsteps and turned around. He kept looking at her.

Xu Ling’s eyes met his. She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she felt that the way he looked at her today was different from usual. It was tinged with a little heat, and it made her a little flustered.

Fortunately, she was not young and often met Leng Xu, so she calmed down very quickly. Like an old friend, she took elegant steps and walked to Leng Xu.

Tong Lu said that you’re looking for me. Is there anything I can help you with? ”

Leng Xu didn’t say anything. He looked at her and smiled.

That smile seemed to have penetrated through time and was tinged with the uneasiness of his youth, but it also had the steadiness carved by time.

Xu Ling gathered a few strands of hair by his ear and waited for him to continue. He felt a little uncomfortable. In the past, she was a very imposing woman who could do better than men in the men’s circle. But in front of Leng Xu, she would always unconsciously hold back her hostility and have more of a woman’s gentleness. She was very pleasant to look at.

Leng Xu looked at her for a long time, but he didn’t know how to say it. I do have something to tell you, but it’s a little hard to say. Let’s go. We’ll talk as we walk. The scenery here is pretty good.

Xu Ling nodded and asked as they walked,”what is it?” Just tell me. ”

“Yes.” Leng Xu put one hand in his pocket. A leaf flew down and landed on Xu Ling’s head. Leng Xu raised his other hand and removed the leaf from her head. It was a simple action, but it was beyond a friend’s control. Xu Ling was slightly shocked.

Leng Xu noticed that there were a few strands of white hair on Xu Ling’s head. He sighed with emotion.”I’ve known you for so long, from the time I was a young girl until now. There are a few white hairs on your head now.”

“Did I?” Xu Ling subconsciously covered his head with his hand, not wanting Leng Xu to see him.

She was already 50 years old. Even if she had taken good care of herself, and others said that she looked no older than 40 years old, the truth was that time never spared her. It was normal to have a few strands of white hair, but she didn’t want Leng Xu to see them. Then she tried to cover the crow’s feet at the corner of her eyes. After covering it up, she sighed in her heart. She was no longer a young girl, so how could she not look old?

Xu Ling sighed. I’m old now. I have white hair. I can’t compare to the young.

you’re not old at all. You’re still as beautiful as ever. Compared to the world beauty pageant back then, you have more of the charm and temperament that has been settled down by age. This cheongsam suits you very well today.
