Chapter 292: Strangers from now on
"Brother Liao!"
The skinny monkey shouted and then the man jumped over like a monkey.
Li Wei looked at the person who came. He was sweating all the way. His bronze skin was covered with crystal sweat drops. His collar was slightly open, and a few drops of sweat slid down his chin and hit his handsome collarbone.
It was Liao Zhiyi, the deputy general who had fled all the way from the border town.
There was a moment of distraction, but Li Wei quickly recovered and said with a smile:
"So it's you. Ah Yi, you're still injured. How can you carry something so heavy? You should lie down and rest more."
Liao Zhiyi blushed and glanced at Li Wei secretly.
"Princess, my wounds have healed. If I lie down any longer, I'll get moldy. If you don't let me go to the fields to work with them, I can still help you with what I can."
Liao Zhiyi had been recuperating from his injuries at Huguo Temple for a long time, and everyone in the temple was very kind to him. He looked around and saw the stewards escorting the car out, and an idea came to his mind:
"Princess, are you sending something to the city? Can I come with you?"
"Go ahead." Li Wei smiled.
Liao Zhiyi was a tall, strong man, and looked incredibly strong. Following the steward into the city would be just the ticket for him to help. Besides, he hadn't been out of the mountain since coming up, so he probably wanted to go down for a walk.
"Thank you princess!"
Liao Zhiyi said hello, got into the manager's car and left.
Tan Taiting stood outside the door, taking it all in. He straightened his clothes, collected himself, and walked in.
"Weiwei."
With a faint smile on his lips, showing his best side, Dan Tai Ting walked straight towards Li Wei.
When he got to her side, he opened an umbrella and covered Li Wei's head, and took out a handkerchief from his arms.
"The sun is so strong, and you don't even try to cover yourself. What if you get tanned? Don't you hate getting tanned? Wipe your sweat off quickly, and I'll help you sit in the shade over there for a while."
As he spoke, he stretched out the handkerchief in his hand towards Li Wei's forehead to wipe the sweat off her face.
But Li Wei frowned, took several steps back like a snake or scorpion, and said unhappily:
"Why are you here again!"
His tone was full of disgust and unhappiness.
"Weiwei, I..."
"Don't call me Weiwei, it's disgusting!" Li Wei raised her hand to stop him.
Tan Tai Ting was suddenly speechless.
He was used to the arrogant and domineering Li Wei, and he claimed to know all her likes and dislikes very well, but for a moment he felt that the person in front of him was very unfamiliar.
Apart from the face, it was still the same face, but his temper, personality and even words and deeds were like those of a completely unfamiliar person.
His eyes darkened, and he looked a little sad.
"Wei...Princess, I know you still hate me in your heart. I owe you an apology. I'm sorry, Princess."
He looked sad and almost in tears.
"Princess, once you've seen the ocean, nothing else can compare to the puddles. Only after losing everything did I finally understand that the person I loved in my heart has always been you, and only you. Unfortunately, Princess, you once treated me with sincerity, but I didn't know how to cherish you. Now I regret it so much."
"Princess, can you give me another chance?"
"I know I was wrong. I don't ask to rekindle our past relationship, I just ask that you stop avoiding me and stop treating me so coldly, Princess..."
"Stop!"
Seeing that Tan Tai was getting more and more disgusted as he spoke, Li Wei stopped him from continuing.
"Dan Tai Ting, the past is the past. Don't mention it anymore, and I don't want to think about it anymore. I'm not avoiding you, nor am I cold to you. I just don't want to see you. Please go away. I'm still very busy."
"Princess, why do you have to say such things to anger me?"
Tan Tai Ting closed his eyes, and two lines of tears fell to the ground.
"I know the princess still has feelings for me, otherwise, she wouldn't have come to the slums to save me."
"At that time, I thought I would die in that shabby house, or even rot there without anyone knowing. But Princess, you came. You saved me, brought me back to the princess's palace, and took good care of me. Princess, I swore at that time that as soon as I got better, I would treat you a thousand times better to make up for the mistakes I made."
"Hey!"
Li Wei sighed deeply.
"Tan Tai Ting, I admit that I had ulterior motives when I saved you. However, it wasn't because of our old relationship. I simply wanted to take you back home and torture you to get revenge."
"Torture and revenge? Princess, you saved me..."
"Yes, that's because I later found it really boring."
Li Wei looked around the Huguo Temple.
She once thought that losing love meant losing everything, but she didn't realize how naive and ridiculous she was.
There is more to the world than just love between men and women.
As a princess, she was born to enjoy supreme glory and was loved by everyone. However, she did not know that all these glory, fine clothes and delicious food were provided by the people of the world.
Without these people who planted the crops and vegetables with their hoes and pickaxes, without these people who sewed the clothes and shoes with their needle and thread, how could she have had the fine clothes and delicious food?
Now that the country is in crisis and the people in the north are displaced, as a princess, it is her duty to do something to care for the people.
Huang Changjie, Su Jiejie, and Aci were all her role models. She also wanted to be a strong, independent, and useful person like them.
Instead of living in hatred and ruining your life.
This is what she figured out in the past few months at Huguo Temple.
So, she looked at Tan Tai Ting very calmly, looked at his ridiculous face, and said lightly:
"Tan Tai Ting, the grudge between us is now written off. You may leave now, and you don't have to return to my princess's mansion. From now on, we are strangers."
Li Wei finished speaking and called her maid. There were still many things waiting for her to deal with in the backyard. She had already wasted too much time on this boring person.
"impossible!"
Tan Taiting shouted out of control, limping a few steps to catch up, grabbing Li Wei, and shouting almost hysterically,
"Weiwei, it's impossible that you don't love me. I'm your brother Ting. When we were little, you always followed me. Weiwei, see clearly."
But what he got in return was Li Wei's cold look.
"I know." Tan Tai Ting suddenly pointed back at the courtyard gate and shouted, "Is that the guy? The one with the surname Liao, right? I just saw you two with strange eyes. Did you develop feelings for each other while being alone together in the mountains? Weiwei, he's just a pariah! He has nothing. Even the food he eats is given by you! How can he be worthy of you!"
"Untouchable?"
Li Wei's lips curled up as she smiled. "Dan Tai Ting, you've probably forgotten that you're nothing more than a lowly person now. How can you be any better? Although Ayi has nothing, he's honest, capable, and can even repair a spinning machine. Can you? Besides living off the comforts of my princess's mansion and then coming here to complain about nothing, what else can you do?!"
